THE family of the late business mogul and philanthropist, Captain Idahosa Okunbo, has denied reports that the family has put up his multi-million naira hotel in Abuja or any of his assets for sale.

It also gave media houses that had published such malicious publication 14 days to retract or face legal actions.

In a statement signed on behalf of the family by Kingsley Okunbo, the family said the reports, (not by ASKLEGALPALACE) was “evil and reprehensible concoction of preposterous fallacy by mischievous author/authors of the above piece under reference”.

The statement stated that the Okunbo family “would ordinarily have ignored and not deemed it worthy to dignify such irresponsible piece of extremely diabolical mischief with a response, but given that we are still in a mourning mood in honour of our illustrious son, brother, father and highly celebrated son of universal repute, we have seized this opportunity to issue this rebuttal, for the records lest a satanic lie be misconstrued for truth.”

The statement added that it could not “imagine what the motive for this wicked misinformation which could only have emanated from the mischievous author/authors and meddlesome interlopers from the very pits of hell. But, we leave the resolution of same in the hands of God Almighty.”

The family also frowned on a video making the rounds of the late Captain’s palatial and state of the art piece of residential architecture in Banana island, Lagos, which the family said development had been ongoing for a few years even before his death.
