May his soul rest in peace, however I could say that this was not a new thing for people of Nigeria because during the time he was ruling, people were saying that he was already dead so actually this finally explain to them that he is no more. Although when I got this news I never believe it because I thought this was another story of his death they have been making prank for years but I didn't no that it was real so actually when I saw people talking about it plus the media that was when I believe that it was indeed a true story, he has been having this health issue for long now.
