Akhigbe is Not Dead - Says Brother

A former Chief of General Staff, Vice Admiral Mike Akhigbe (retd.) is not dead as reported by a national newspaper on Monday, his elder brother, Joseph has said.
Joseph on Monday, expressed shock over what he described as wide speculation, about his brother’s demise.

He added that his though his younger brother was sick, the retired naval officer was recuperating in an American hospital and not London as erroneously reported.

He said, “As I speak to you now the newspaper report in my opinion is pure speculation. The paper said he died in a London hospital, but my brother is in an American hospital stabilizing.

“The wife, son-in-law and his daughter are with him. My immediate younger brother in Abuja who spoke to the wife in America confirmed to family members that Admiral is stabilizing; the news of death is totally untrue.e.”
