The former military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida has dismissed reports published by some quarters of the media stating that he was dead.

Babangida, who refuted the claims during an interview with some journalists at his hilltop mansion in Minna, said that he doesn’t have sleepless nights thinking about his death, especially because ‘everybody has to die’ at some point.

“For me, it doesn’t shock me, neither bother me because I know I must go and meet God my Creator (one day), there is nothing really to worry about, my religion has told me.
