COVID-19 has again claimed the life of the Chairman of the defunct Sosoliso Airlines, Chief Victor Ikwuemesi, in London.
He died on Monday few days after he was diagnosed with coronavirus.
 Ikwuemesi was admitted into a London hospital after a brief illness and from complications from Coronavirus, family sources said.

It was learnt that he later tested positive for COVID-19 in the result that was released on Tuesday and had been in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on oxygen since he arrived at the London hospital.

“But, when the oxygen was removed for him to eat he couldn’t breathe on his own.

“So they put him on a ventilator and he died shortly after,” the source said.

PerSecondNews recalls that the Enugu-based airlines started operation in July 2000.
