She went on to suggest that he was cremated and was being impersonated by a Sudanese. She however promised to confirm the information and give an update much later.
The controversial blogger has been in the news after she tweeted that a high ranking member of President Buhari’s Government had died. A week later, the presidency announced the death of it’s chief of staff, Abba Kyari.
Her recent tweet had generated a lot of reaction from IPOB members who blasted the journalist for insinuating that their leader was dead.
Kemi Olunloyo debunked her own rumour in a later tweet saying he was alive and well.
#BREAKING After investigating all night, I am letting everyone know that Nnamdi Kanu is ALIVE and well. He was NEVER in Italy let alone hospitalized. I also spoke to close friends of Kanu including my brother @realFFK who confirmed the same and has spoken to Mazi Kanu.
Nnamdi Kanu himself announced through Twitter that he would be making a radio broadcast on Wednesday night.
