Sultan of Sokoto Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar is alive.
A rumour made the rounds on Tuesday that the Sultan has died.
A senior Counselor in the Sultanate, Dr Jabbi Kilgori, dismissed the story, saying “it was fake news by some unscrupulous elements.
“We don’t know their motive. We don’t know what they want to achieve by fake news against the Sultan.
“But the Sultan is hale and hearty. I am right now with him.
“In fact, we just left Kaduna for Abuja where the Sultan is having another official engagement.
“Let the general republic disregard this story because it is not true,” he added.
