On Sunday night, Nigerian Television Authority, NTA mistakenly pronounced former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon rtd, dead.

The news was scrolled in a message format on its station announcing that the former leader had passed on at 79 years old.

It was later discovered that it was General Gowon's sister, Martha Kande Audu who is the first northern female voice on Radio/TV Kaduna that died at the age of 79.
