This is the second time Buhari is rumoured dead

Mischief makers have latched onto the rumour of the death of 74 year old President Muhammadu Buhari for the second time.

The first tale gained momentum on June 11, 2016, and the second started after January 21, 2017. Rumour mongers usually go to work when the leader of over 190 million people is abroad.

When the lanky Daura-born retired General travelled to London in June 2016 to attend to a troubling ear ache, purveyors of evil news were busy with spreading missives of his death.

And now when he’s on a 10-day leave, again in the United Kingdom, they are occupied with another tall tale.
