Chairman of the defunct Sosoliso Airlines, Mr Victor Ikwuemesi, has died of the coronavirus pandemic in London, a close friend of the family disclosed on Tuesday.
Ikwuemesi, who was said to have been admitted in a London hospital for an undisclosed illness, later tested positive for coronavirus in the hospital.
Confirming the death of the businessman, Mr Ikechi Uko, a close friend of the son of the late Ikwuemesi who happened to be the Managing Director of the Sosoliso Airlines while his father was the Chairman, described the death of the airline chief as very sad.
