Family Confirms Death Of Former Chief of General Staff, Vice Admiral Mike Akhigbe


The head of the Akhigbe family, Chief Joseph Akhigbe, on Tuesday confirmed the death of the former Chief of General Staff,  Vice Admiral Mike Akhigbe.
Joseph confirmed the death  in their Fugar country home in Estako Central Local Government Area of Edo.
Yesterday same family of the former Chief of General Staff described as untrue, an online report that the former number two man died in a London hospital.
The elder brother Chief Joseph Akhigbe, said that the news about his death was shocking to the family because “it is not true and it is really embarrassing to us.
He said “My brother is stabilising in an American hospital and not even London as erroneously reported. As I speak to you now, the report in my opinion is pure speculation, the paper said he died in a London hospital but my brother is in an American hospital and he is stable.
But toady Tuesday the story has changed same elder brother Chief Joseph Akhigbe said that “At about 1 a.m, Mike’s first son called me from the U.S. and said that his father, my brother, is dead,’’ he said.
He said that his brother’s son told him that Akhigbe’s remains were still in the U.S and that no arrangement had been made to bring it home.
The family head said that a condolence register had already been opened in the family’s compound in Fugar.
May his soul RIP, Amen..
