Nothing lasts forever; as the seasons turn, so does human life wither to age and disease, everything vanishes like morning dew. Death has bared its vicious fangs again. Covid-19 virus has claimed the life of another wealthy businessman. This time, it is billionaire industrialist, Alhaji Umar Saro.
Indeed, If Saro had his way as he is wont to in business, he would have bullishly negotiated with death to name its cost and spare his life. But alas, the Ilorin born, Lagos based business mogul passed on this evening after battling the virus at a private hospital in Victoria Island, Lagos, according to reliable sources.
Were an outpouring of eulogies and tears potent enough to rouse a dead man, Alhaji would have reconsidered spending a few more days before plunging into his eternal sleep. Alhaji Saro left behind, a wife, Alhaja Atinuke Saro, who recently celebrated her 70th birthday, and they are blessed with many children.
