Some reports said Okoko, son of Professor Kimse Okoko, died on Tuesday during a liposuction surgery in a Lagos hospital.
A power outage was blamed for the death.

Okoko was in his early 40s.

He was also a pastor of Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt.
Many Bayelsans and people who he had touched in his lifetime, were shocked by his sudden death.
They poured out their anguish in posts on Facebook.
