The President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo has reacted to news circulating on social media that he was involved in a ghastly motor accident with a fractured arm.


In a statement he personally signed on Tuesday, the Igbo leader said those behind the rumour went ahead to post the picture of the purported vehicle that crashed.

Nwodo said that the accident scene couldn’t have involved him since he did not travel.

The Ohanaeze leader while urging the public to discountenance the news, thanked all the concerned persons including governors and traditional rulers who reached him to confirm the news.

“As a result of this wicked act, my mobile phones have been inundated with calls from concerned persons wanting to sympathize with me”, he said.

“I am yet to make out what the intention of the person or group circulating the news are; they wish wish me dead when they are not the owner of my life.”

“I am hail and hearty enjoying the mercy and grace of my creator”, he added.

“Social media has a lot of positives, which the people should highlight rather than always going for the negative. Every freedom has a responsibility attached to it.
