Channels TV presenter Joe Ighile collapses on set, dies in hospital

Channels TV Head of Sports, Joe Ighile, collapsed on set last night while presenting the 9'Oclock live sports programme. After introducing the programme, Joe told the crew that he was feeling uncomfortable and asked to take a break. He stepped out of the studio for some fresh air and collapsed a few minutes later.

He was immediately rushed to the hospital where he later died. He was 47 years old

Joe Ighile joined Channels TV in 2003. He's survived by a wife, two children and aged mother. May his soul rest in peace...amen.

    People need to check their blood pressure regularly, I suspect it must be a fatal heart attack. What a pity. May hi soul rest in peace. Amen

    This so sad to hear. Could it have been as a result of accumulated stress or what? May his soul rest in Perfect peace. He will be greatly missed!
