According to the highly credible newspaper, the Kaduna-based businessman and philanthropist reportedly died in a hospital in Abuja of undisclosed illness.
Vanguard said the development was confirmed to it by a young man, who claimed to be one of the sons of Chief Okogwu and gave his name as Michael, and Okogwu’s 63-year-old security guard in his Kaduna home, Yunusa Jibrin.
Okogwu was the presidential candidate of the Republican Party of Nigeria in 2007.
