The Benin, Edo State, billionaire and philanthropist is remembered for having running battles with the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) over alleged illegal collection from shippers by his company and with his home state governor, Godwin Obaseki, whose re-election he vowed to stop last year but failed to do so.
In mid-January this year, Capt Hosa, who was the Chairman, Ocean Marine Solutions Limited, was rumoured to have died. Still, his family quashed the rumours, explaining that he “immediately after the September 19, 2020, Edo State governorship election, travelled to the United Kingdom, for his routine medical checkup.”
