He also posted videos showing him with former colleagues discussing how he will be sorely missed.

In the meta post, Benue state born Okwoche, a graduate of theatre arts from the university of Jos Nigeria wrote " after 19 years at the world's largest (and best) news organisation, I presented my last show today! I have decided to call time on this brilliant roller coaster ride. I've loved every single second. What next? I'll see y'all around"

Okwoche started broadcasting in Nigeria before taking it international.
While at BBC, he presented Focus on Africa and interviewed many African leaders and other influential people.
He also presented sports shows.

    4. XP they are related. Mike and Peter are first Cousin (s). Mike is an only child, his Dad was a great Bishop of Methodist church. He died when he was much younger. They are both Igede (Ainu) from Benue State, Oju local government precisely.
