Oil and Gas Top Player, Julius Rone Set to bury father -in-law

Anyone who knows Julius Rone, a top player in the oil and gas sector, can testify to the fact that he does not do his things in half measures. This perhaps explains the frenzy and buzz currently in social circles as the highly revered businessman is getting set to host the creme-de-la-crème of the society and social establishment to a high-octane party as he buries his father-in-law, the late Obong Ukpong Dan Umoh, who died recently at the age of 83.

The Delta State-born businessman is a detribalised Nigerian whose circle of friends cuts across the Who-is-Who in high society, including captains of industry, monarchs, politicians, socialites and celebrities.

Society Watch gathered that colourful invitation cards are already in circulation among family members, close friends, celebrities, business tycoons, politicians and high net-worth individuals.

It was revealed that the billionaire and his wife will host the guests on a four-day event that commences on June 11, 2023, with the opening of a mourning house at the deceased compound in Ikot Bonikona, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

This will be followed by a condolence visit on Monday at the same venue, while a night of songs follows on Friday, June 16, 2023, at Amezion Church Ikotmbonikona, Uyo. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 17.

A source further disclosed that the highly connected man, fondly called King of Gas, has been on a spending spree in preparation for the event that is expected to be a massive display of poise, allure, pomp and grand opulence.
