Renowned Fuji musician Kolawole Ayinla, popularly known as General Kollington, has vehemently refuted the rumour of his death.
In an exclusive telephone interview with The Herald in Ilorin on Monday, the veteran musician confirmed his well-being and dismissed the notion of any health concerns.
Kollington Ayinla, who suprised over the spread of the rumour, joked about having just finished a meal of cooked beans and fried plantains.
He denounced the rumor mongers, stressing that they need to undergo psychiatric evaluation and warning of legal action against them.
General Kollington expressed disbelief at the lack of journalistic integrity behind such rumors and assured everyone that he is alive, well, and in good health.
“I can tell and confirm to you that I’m alive, hale and hearty. I’m healthy, and nothing is wrong with my state of health to warrant any rumour as to whether I’m alive or not.
“Those people spreading rumour that I am dead are mad; they should be taken to Aro (Federal Psychiatric Hospital, Abeokuta).
“In fact, I’m surprised to have been told and sent a snap of an online blog that I am dead. And one should ask the writer of that information about his experience in journalism. Is that how they were taught in journalism school?
“Well, my legal team has been informed, and would communicate the concerned online blog for appropriate notice of litigation. For me, this is not a good way of making popularity.
“I’m in my house. In fact, I just finished eating cooked beans and fried plantains. So, how come I’m eating? To tell you, I’m alive, hale, hearty and healthy”, Killington said.
This comes a few weeks after the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) refuted rumors about the death of veteran actor Zack Orji.
