Edo-born business mogul and philanthropist Captain Hosa Okunbo has passed on at the age of 73.
A source told TheNewsGuru that Okunbo died after a long battle with cancer. He died on Saturday night at a hospital in London, the source said.
Okunbo reportedly took ill shortly after the September 19, 2020 Edo governorship election which his preferred candidate Osagie Ize-Iyamu lost to incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki.
He is survived by wife Nosa Okunbo and children.
The Okunbo family had in January dispelled rumour of his death.
