#RIPNnamdiKanu: Nigerians React To Nnamdi Kanu’s Rumoured Death
A storm of reactions by Nigerians has greeted the rumoured death of Nnamdi Kanu, with #RIPNnamdiKanu trending on the micro-blogging site, Twitter.
Naija News had reported earlier controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo said the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu is dead.
This online news platform understands that the news of Nnamdi Kanu’s death first emerged on the micro-blogging site, Twitter last week when Miss Olunloyo tweeted that the IPOB leader was dead and had been cremated in Italy.
However, a day after the tweet, Olunloyo took to Twitter again to retract her claims, saying she confirmed from Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Nigerian Minister who is Nnamdi Kanu’s ally, that the IPOB leader is hale and hearty and not dead as earlier claimed by her.
Naija News had reported earlier that Kanu delivered a live broadcast on Sunday on Radio Biafra, where he accused the people in Aso Rock and Chinese doctors of being responsible for the deaths in Kano state, northern Nigeria.
“I said, right now people are dying in Kano, the people to hold responsible are the people in Aso Rock. People are dying now in their numbers in the North. Before the Chinese came, were people dying like this?” The IPOB leader asked.
Reacting to the live broadcast, Olunloyo insisted that Nnamdi Kanu is dead and that person that spoke as the IPOB leader during the live broadcast on Radio Biafra on Sunday, was “physically in Nigeria doing his voice over.”
The controversial journalist tweeted: “Nnamdi Kanu has died and gone. The person on a radio/video show yesterday didn’t have to hide their face. That person was physically in Nigeria doing his voice over. As a broadcaster, I can do voices of many public figures.”

Quote me any day.
The day I start believing any story that has its source solely from Kemi Olunloyo, it means I have lost my sanity.
Those who credited her story on the death of Abba Kyari and attacked my timeline can also come back for #RIPNnamdiKanu

Rightfully or Wrongfully, a person who stands firm on his ideology is a Fighter. I may dislike his followers for ruining his project but Nnamdi Kanu just like Nzeogwu is a Man i will forever acknowledge.
