Details soon: Recall that earlier this year, Okunbo's family dispelled his rumored death during his routine medical checkup in the United Kingdom. The statement released at the time by Dr Tinyan Okunbo on behalf of the family reads:“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.”
