“The person that wrote the report did not consult any member of the family but sponsored the publication based on his own volition which i will address in due course after my return to Ibadan from Abuja where i am now on a national assignment.
“Before such information can be published, statement by the family must be issued coupled with the copy of death certificate…this protocol was not followed by the person who posted the news.”
