Former Military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has refuted speculations that he is dead.
The retired Army general said that he is alive and wondered where the unfounded rumours started from.
There were speculations in a section of the social media that the General passed on aged 89.
Findings, however, revealed that the speculations on social media had emerged after a man who bore the name Gowon, Professor Samuel Gowon Edoumiekumo, the immediate past Vice Chancellor of the Niger Delta University in Bayelsa State, died on Saturday.
He was the Chairman of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities.
