The death of Legacy Motors founder and CEO Okey Ezeibe has raised questions after he was found dead in a hotel room in Imo State, Nigeria.
Ezeibe, who hailed from Awgbu in Anambra State, was reportedly in Imo for a scheduled meeting when he was found dead on Sunday, September 20, 2026.
According to reports, Ezeibe was expected to meet Chief Martins Agbaso, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship candidate in Imo State, after an earlier meeting arrangement could not take place.
