It was gathered that Akhigbe had been battling with cancer for some time before his appointment as the chief of general staff, following the death of the then Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, in 1998.
After his retirement from the Force, Akhigbe went to read law and became
an attorney with specialisation in Maritime and Real Estate Law. He was
a seasoned businessman with substantial interests in real estate.

May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
