Chukwu, who was full of praises to God for life, said he had received series of calls from his friends all over the world who had been calling to find out whether or not the news was true.

 

“I don’t know where the story emanated from. Nobody has come to speak with me or any member of my family. I only heard people saying that I was dead,” he said. He described the story as false, noting that it is unprofessional for anyone to come up with such a report without any form of investigation or verification.
