The Nigerian social media space was thrown into chaos yesterday as rumors of billionaire businessman and Globacom CEO, Mike Adenuga’s death, spread like wildfire. The alleged demise of the 71-year-old entrepreneur sent shockwaves across the nation, with many expressing disbelief and condolences.
The unverified reports of Adenuga’s passing emerged on social media platforms, with many users sharing condolence messages and tribute posts. The news spread rapidly, sparking widespread panic and concern among Nigerians. However, several netizens quickly sprang into action to debunk the rumor, citing lack of credible sources and confirmation from Adenuga’s family or Globacom.
“I just spoke to someone close to the Adenuga family, and they confirmed that Mike Adenuga is alive and well,” tweeted @Omojuwa. “No credible source has confirmed Mike Adenuga’s death. Let’s be cautious with the information we share,” added @DrJoeAbah.
Globacom’s Silence
As of press time, Globacom has not issued an official statement addressing the rumor. The company’s silence has fueled speculation, but insiders suggest that Adenuga’s camp is deliberately avoiding comment to avoid lending credence to the baseless reports.
Adenuga, one of Nigeria’s most successful entrepreneurs, founded Globacom in 2003, transforming the telecommunications landscape in Nigeria. His business acumen and innovative spirit have made Globacom a household name, providing employment opportunities for thousands of Nigerians.
