Wife Mourns Popular Public Speaker, Ubong King- Sadly, popular Nigerian public speaker, Ubong King, is dead. The late Ubong widely known as Mr King reportedly died in Lagos on Saturday, December 26. He was reported to have died of coronavirus (COVID-19 )
The deceased who hailed from Akwa Ibom is survived by his wife, Unyime Ivy-King, and four children.
Ubong until his death was the founder of Protection Plus Security Limited and former chairman of the American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS) International Chapter 206, Lagos.
His wife, Unyime, confirmed the report of Mr King’s passing in a Facebook post on Sunday.
“This is an open post to everyone just to respond to all who have tried to reach me that I’m unable to respond to because of the volumes of calls coming in.
“I will be unavailable for a while after this post so my children and I can process in private.
“All I want to say right now is that my everlasting date Ubong King has completed the short 48 years assignment that our Lord asked him to do and he’s at peace now,” Mrs King said in the post.
Mrs King said she needed some private moment with the kids, and, therefore, would not be available to respond to calls.
“I need to keep my mind strong so love me from a distance and pray for us all,” she said. “I can’t do RIP yet – maybe later. But the family and I are stable and God is in our corner.”
The late Mr King, who ran a flourishing security consultancy firm, spent most of his time visiting various Nigerian cities for speaking engagements to motivate young Nigerians.
