Family sources revealed that he was “recovering after taking proper treatment in the United States of America but relapsed a few days ago and died.”
He used to run Zoom mobile, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) telecom business which later closed shop in 2012 because of intense competition and onslaught from GSM operators.
His son, Uchenna Harris Okonkwo, is the House of Representatives Member-Elect for Idemili North and Idemili South Federal Constituencies, Anambra State.
