Comedian Gbenga Adeyinka apologises for Baba Sala’s false death post
Popular Nigerian comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka, has apologised to Nigerians for posting a false claim that veteran comedian, Moses Adejumo, popularly known as Baba Sala, died.
Mr. Adeyinka issued the apology via his Instagram page where he had earlier made the false claim on Tuesday night.
“Good evening please DISREGARD the news of Baba Sala’s demise. The source has since recanted. So sorry for the misinformation.
“Feeling very stupid that I just took his word for it. Sorry again”, the standup comedian wrote.
Adeyinka’s untrue claim was deleted soon after it was posted, but many blogs had published it without verifying from the family of Baba Sala.
When PREMIUM TIMES called Emmanuel Adejumo, one of Baba Sala’s sons on Wednesday morning, he dismissed the story as false.
“It is not true that Baba is dead. He is alive .I don’t know where those peddling the death rumour got it from.”
