Report from Minna, the Niger State capital, indicates that former Mikitary President Ibrahim Babangida is alive, hale and hearty.
Thus was contrary to an earlier unconfirmed report that the gap-toothed Army general was dead.
“The Nigerian Xpress can authoritatively confirm that former President, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, is alive and well. We just confirmed from his close aide and personal staff the hugely popular is not dead, contrary to the rumours earlier today that he passed on.”
