“I have been receiving calls from people both within and outside the country. They want to confirm if I was dead as it is being speculated, but I told them I am alive.

“Although I was a bit indisposed a few days ago and I was taken to University College Hospital UCH Ibadan and I am back home, I am healthy.”
