Publisher of Ovation Magazine Dele Momodu has dismissed rumour of the death of Globacom chairman and founder Mike Adenuga.
In a social media post on Tuesday night, Momodu said the 71-year-old is alive and well, urging Nigerians to disregard the false news.
He further stated that he spoke with Adenuga over the phone and confirmed that the billionaire was at his desk.
“Ignore the fake news… The Spirit of Africa DR MICHAEL ADENIYI AGBOLADE ISOLA ADENUGA is hale and hearty. He’s right now at his desk working round the clock in support of the Nigerian economy… He just called me to thank everyone for their concern,” he wrote.
Adenuga was last seen in public on Saturday, October 26 for the wedding of his daughter Sade in the Ikoyi area of Lagos.
Fondly called ‘The Bull’, the businessman, worth over $6 billion, is not one to pose before cameras regularly.
His daughter Sade got married to Adebola Ogunsanya son of the late Ademefun Ogunsanya and Mrs Idera Ogunsanya of Ikorodu kingdom.
Former governor of Ogun State Olusegun Osoba and his wife Aderinsola Osoba chaired the occasion.
Among the dignitaries were Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu; governors Ademola Adeleke and Dapo Abiodun, senators Ibikunle Amosun and Tokunbo Abiru; Lt Gen. Alani Akinrinade, Maj. Gen. Ike Nwachukwu (retd), Tunde Folawiyo, Jimi Benson and Ayo Subair.
