The online sphere is ablaze with reports suggesting that Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, Nigeria's former Military President, has died.
Facebook user Olagunju Wale Moses shared, "Information just received from Minna indicates the passing of General IBB."
Contradicting these claims, another user, Sidiali Abdulsidi, recounted visiting the ex-military leader on Tuesday in a Facebook update.
The former APC Youth leader shared his own account, stating: "I recently visited the Former Military President of Nigeria, Gen Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, at his residence in Minna, Niger State."
These fresh reports of Babangida's demise come after numerous prior instances where such speculation was refuted.
