A condolence letter, signed by Okah-Donli, and issued to newsmen in Abuja on Sunday, described the late Okunbo as “a great Iroko whose fall would not only shake Nigeria but the entire world“.

Okah-Donli, a former Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), also described the late industrialist a mentor who had impacted knowledge in her and many others.

“He was a man of honour. He is a pillar of support, encouragement and the greatest humanitarian of our time,’’ she said.
