Not long after his death, a fake twitter account, deceiving fans of the actor started debunking the death of actor Muna Obiekwe by tweeting Im not dead, am alive.

We were all confused and decided not to put up any story yet until a colleague actor, Van Vicker and other celebrities in Nigeria have confirmed the actor is truly gone.

Colleague actress Stella Damasus confirmed his death on Instagram.

Just confirmed it from some close friends and relatives that he is really dead. The message from twitter that he was still alive was from a fake account. So this is my pain, how do you know what to believe and what not to believe? Where do we draw the line? Over nine thousand people on twitter have believed that he is still alive because of the fake twitter account. REST IN PEACE BRO! I was really hoping that it was a rumor. God rest your soul. This is too painful. Whoever put that message out not the fake twitter account should be careful. Don’t play games with people’s lives like that.
