On Sunday, September 3, social media was rife with rumors that Governor Rochas Okorocha's son, Ahamefula Okorocha was dead.
However, Governor Rochas has said his first son is alive, strong and healthy, contrary to the reports.
The reports had said Ahamefula died at The Royal London Hospital located at White Chapel Road. According to Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha’s chief press secretary the reports came from agents of Satan.
He said: “The young engineer is doing very well in his profession. How could anybody ever wish his fellow human dead? This is strange and we all should discourage this kind of insinuation."

According to NAN, the governor recalled that he was recently reported to have died when he travelled overseas on a business trip shortly after he had announced plans to relocate the ancient Ekeukwu Owerri market, situated at the heart of the city.
According to Okorocha, it was suspect that the false report on the death of his son was coming only two weeks after the relocation of the market.
“God is the giver of life and nobody can determine how God does his things. The general public should disregard such report,” he said.
