The family of billionaire industrialist and Chairman, Ocean Marine Solutions Limited, Capt. Hosa Okunbo, has insisted he is alive, hale and hearty, saying his death rumour was wicked.
The family, in a statement by Dr Tinyan Okunbo, warned rumour mongers to desist forthwith or face the wrath of God Almighty.
The statement noted that Okunbo, travelled to the United Kingdom on routine medical checkup.
The family stated its son, father, brother, grandfather and benefactor would live beyond the wicked rumour.
It said: “We hereby condemn the rumour that originated from the pit of hell. We state unequivocally that Capt. Hosa Okunbo is well, hale and hearty. God will judge the persons who take delight in peddling fatal wishes on the innocent.
“We take solace in the fact that similar rumours in the past were spread of great men who had always proved the evil intentions of the wicked hearts wrong and invariably lived beyond their expectations.
“Nigerians have not forgotten the case of a former Nigeria’s President, Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, from whose case we now draw inspiration that Capt. Hosa Okunbo will live to the fullness of his age and beyond, in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Capt Okunbo company, Ocean Marine Solutions Limited, has a running battle with the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) against Secure Area Anchorage (SAA).
