Nigerian business magnate and Edo State-based billionaire, captain Hosa Wells Okunbo, is dead.
AMILOADED gathered that he died of pancreatic cancer in London on Sunday morning, where he has been receiving treatment for cancer.
He was aged 63.
A formal official statement on his transition is being awaited from his family, even as the news of his death has devastated many of his business and political associates.
He was due in Nigeria next week to attend the coronation of the new Olu of Warri, Tsola Emiko, who is married to his daughter, Ivie.

The Edo indigene was a commercial pilot and later became a big time private sector player.
Okunbo was the Chairman of Ocean Marine Solutions Limited, an offshore assets protection company.
The deceased served as Chairman and Director on boards of several companies in Nigeria.
