My attention has been drawn to a ridiculous information by one Obinna Akukwe saying that the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu fell sick after visiting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS custody. I say CATEGORICALLY that the report has no iota of truth. It was just a fictitious coloured imagination by the writer to attract readership to his wall/platform.
His report is one of the dangers of relying so much on SOCIAL MEDIA without thorough investigation. Any Professional Journalist will dig deep to ascertain the veracity of hearsay before going to the public because he knows that his image is at stake. You don’t just rush to the public to make infantile headline and scare people from believing your pen.
That report deserves a seat in the bottomless pit.
Chief Iwuanyanwu wasn’t feeling well before his trip to Abuja. But because of the continued disturbing incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is one of his sons, he decided to go to Abuja to see him not minding his health challenges coupled with other scheduled engagements.
I want simply advice that people should be weary of what they dishout to the public so as to maintain their readers more so when such misguided wicked report comes from those who call themselves Pastors/Reverends. That is the reason I didn’t add Rev to the originator of the falsehood.
