Former Borno State Governor and senator representing Borno Central, Hon Kashim Shettima has debunked his death rumours stressing that ‘he is alive, hale and hearty.
Shettima who spoke to journalists in a telephone call at the weekend, lamented that it is very unfortunate, some people who are his political enemies, chose spreading fake news that he is dead with no cause.
The senator said, although death is enevitable to mankind, it is also not proper to wish somebody dead, even if such a person is critical on his/her sickbed.
“I give thanks to Allah (God) Almighty. I am hale and hearty. There is nothing wrong with me. God has taken the glory.
“I am alive and there is nothing wrong with me.
“I am surprised with the rumour too and I don’t know where it came from. I have been receiving several calls and I want to tell people not to express worry about the rumour because I am fine and active.”
“The public and my family at large should disregard the news.” He said.
This is not the first time the news of my death has been falsely peddled, we give God the glory”. Shettima said.
He however enjoined those behind spreading or concocting rumours of his death to desist henceforth, as according to him, it is God who give lives and take it whenever He wish, but not through fake news.
