Report of Wike’s son shot dead in America is fake, says Rivers state government

The Rivers State Government has debunked claims in social media that the son of Governor Nyesom Wike was shot dead in the United States of America (USA) over the Governor’s alleged activities in the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections in Rivers State.

Penpushing reports that Commissioner for Information and Communication, Chris Finebone faulted the claim in a statement title, ‘‘Yet again, another lie’, said the Governor neither has a son or any child for that matter in the United States of America (USA)

The Commissioner said the post was the handiwork of those he described as wicked people who were bent on blackmailing and tarnishing the image of the Governor, and urged members of the public to discountenance it.

“This is a big lie by evil people. For the avoidance of doubt, Gov. Nyesom Wike has no son or child in the US. By the special grace of God, the governor’s children are safe and doing well where they are.’, the statement reads

‘This satanic rumour is yet another concoction by wicked people in their insidious quest to blackmail and tarnish the image of Governor Wike. There is absolutely no truth in this cheap blackmail. The public should disregard and throw it into the trash can where it belongs”, Finebone wrote

Penpushing further reports that it is recalled that a post captioned ‘Breaking news: Wike’s only son shot dead in California, US over father’s act in Rivers election’, on Wednesday hit the social media and was spreading like wildfire

The social media post showed the Governor’s son in a convocation gown at his graduation in a United Kingdom University last year, flanked by Wike, his wife Justice Suzette and their daughter, posing for the cameras.
