Senator Rochas Okorocha has denied confirming the supposed death of Senator Benjamin Uwajumogu, who represents Imo North in the senate.
Okorocha in several tweets denied confirming the ‘falsehood’ while responding to a tweet from The Nation calling it absurd.
Another news outlet is however saying, the Senator is alive, only that he has been flown to Dubai to receive more medical attention.
”Pls disregard any rumour flying around. Senator Benjamin Uwajumogu the senator representing Imo North Senatorial District is alive not dead and currently at a Dubai hospital receiving medical treatment. He is only receiving some critical medical attention,” NT reported. Below are Okorocha’s tweets…
”This is very absurd as I did not speak to anyone to confirm this news. This kind of journalism is totally unacceptable. We must strive to do better.
”I am utterly shocked that a platform like @TheNationNews would go to extent of putting my name behind such falsehood in the bid to break news. ‘Let me reiterate that I didn’t speak to journalists regarding the news making rounds about the passing of Senator Ben Uwajumogu
”I demand that @TheNationNews take down this news piece as it is false and completely misleading. One would expect better from such a platform.”
