The family of Edo born billionaire, Capt Well Idahosa Okunbor, yesterday described as malicious and wicked, the rumour that Capt Hosa has passed on.
Recall that rumour of the death of the business mogul spreaded like wildlife last weekend in the social media,but the family was quick to debunk the rumour and said that
the Chairman of Ocean Marine Solutions Limited had travelled to the United Kingdom on his routine medical checkup.
The family in a press statement signed by Dr Tinyan Okunbo, on behalf of the Okunbo family and made available to journalists in Benin City, said their son, father and benefactor shall live beyond the rumour and warned rumour mongers to desist or face the wrath of God’s almighty.
The statement reads: ” Our attention has been drawn to the malicious and malevolent rumour making the rounds that our son, brother, father, grandfather and benefactor has gone to be with Lord.
“We hereby rebuke this rumour that originated from the pitof hell, and hereby state unequivocally, that Capt Idahosa Wells Okunbo is well, hale and hearty”
“Our brother, son and father will surely live beyond the rumour and God will judge those who delight in peddling fatal wishes on the innocent”.
“We take solace in the fact that similar rumours in the past have been said of great men who had always proved the evil intentions of these wicked hearts wrong, and invariably lived beyond their expectations”.
“For instance, Nigerians have not forgotten the case of Namadi Azikwe from whose case, we now draw inspiration that our brother, son, grandfather and benefactor will live to the fullness of his age and beyond in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. He is already testifying to The glory of God in his life and only God and God alone will take the glory in his life in Jesus mighty name. Amen.” The statement concluded
