Mrs. Basirat Umar-Shonekan, one of the daughters of former Head of Interim National Government (ING), Chief Ernest Shonekan has debunked the rumoured death of her father.

In a chat with OkayNG.com representative in faraway Canada, Umar-Shonekan declared that her father is still hale and hearty as at the time of speaking.

The Nigerian-born Canadian Naval Accountant further explained that she learnt about her father’s death through a Facebook report which compelled her to make phone calls across to Nigeria to authenticate the incident.

Basirat, who later made an internet call to one of her close family friend in Nigeria, Idir Abu, further explained that the entire Shonekan family was highly embarrassed by the internet news.

“To be frank with you, all of us too were very embarrassed by the Facebook report and I had to hurriedly call Nigeria. Although Baba is suffering from sickness usually associated with old age, but I can tell you that my dad is fine”, Basirat said.

Mrs. Umar-Shonekan further said that the Ernerst Shonekan’s first born was still with their father in the family’s Lagos house.

Social Media and Fake News

It's death that bloggers are playing with like this

He will leave long

Who talk say him die before?

Which good his living do Nigeria citizens .....Useless people that sold their birth right for a pot of porridge.....betrayed abiola their brother at d expense of crippled ibb

Bloggers should endeavor to verify every news before putting it out on the internet

Every blog what’s to trend. But whoever uses someone death need to make money, death will visit them the same way thunder and lightning visited Kemi.

True talk

I learnt of the news of Pa Shonekan's purported death via TVContinental.

Na lie Mohammed talk am

RUMOUR MONGERS


this news is surely from lie mohammed

Until you show your stupidity

Schuffeadv23:
Na lie Mohammed talk am

Good to hear that.

Well the damage has been done.

No smoke without fire, Shonekan is close to his grave, just as Pa Moses Olaiya aka Baba Saala was once rumored to be dead few months ago, only to surrender finally not quite long.

NL and fake news are like 5 & 6.

What if Shonekan or his daughter decides to sue all those who own attention-seeking, visitor-monitoring, click-tripping blogs or websites for spreading false news about his death?

I passed my condolence after i heard. Wherever the source of this fake news is may God deal with them for wishibg death on other people parents.
