Nigerian self-acclaimed best journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has reacted to the rumoured death of Nnamdi Kanu, the factional leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

According to her, Nnamdi Kano is alive and well, contrary to the rumours that have been making rounds on social media.

Earlier today some unverified rumours began circulating on social media claiming that Nnamdi Kano died and that an impostor was out in his stead.

They claimed he died at an Italian hospital after a brief illness. However, Kemi says she spoke with Femi Fani Kayode and other close sources before she arrived at a resolution.

“#BREAKING After investigating all night, I am letting everyone know that Nnamdi Kanu is ALIVE and well,” she wrote.

“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,” she added in her tweet.
