Sad: On Return From US To Sort Out His Business, Onyejekwe Dies In His Hotel Room In Lagos

By Gideon Njoku

Shock, pain and sorrow have gripped the Onyejekwe family in Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria, and Houston, United States.

The family has lost its very successful son, Robert Onyejekwe in a  mysterious manner. Members are at pains as to whether Robert died a natural death, or not  in his room in a  hotel in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria.

Robert Onyejekwe lived in Houston with his wife and children where he had a thriving Oil & Gas business.

According to the story which has found itself on a couple of WhatsApp platforms, he recently arrived Lagos, to sort out issues with an oil and gas business which he also set up in Lagos. He noticed, allegedly, that the person he put in charge was short-changing him.

On arrival, a Board meeting was fixed against Thursday so that the Managing Director would hand over the affairs of the company to him.

But that was not to be.

For, on Sunday, before the scheduled Thursday Board meeting, Onyejekwe died in his hotel room in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Sources from his base in Houston said he was hale and hearty when he left the US for Nigeria, and had just hosted an annual  OTC meeting.

It is not known if his funeral will be held in Onitsha, or as is being speculated, in Houston, meaning in that case, his body will be transported to the US.

He was aged 51 years.
