@DeleMomodu‘s post on social media:
“One of Nigeria’s biggest car dealers WILLY ANUMUDU has died! The Chairman of GLOBE MOTORS, Victoria Island, suffered some health challenges few days ago and “was tested for COVID-19 which came out negative”. He was to be air-lifted to Germany this morning but died about 4am….”
“At the time of his death, WILLY ANUMUDU was happily married to his effervescent wife, NKIRU, who sadly was in London when the tragedy occurred in Lagos early this morning. He is survived by four children, UZOMA, EYINNA, ZINNA and ZIKKY… May his sweet soul Rest in Peace.”
Willy Anumudu was a popular Lagos socialite with his wife. They were never missing in the circle of who-is-who in Nigeria. Their circle of friends naturally patronised his exotic cars.
