Spreading death hoax about celebrities is not new in the entertainment industry. At different times and places many celebrities have been victims of these unknown messengers of death, who declare people dead while they are still alive. Nollywood actress Angela Okorie is the latest victim as she is still trying to come to terms with her supposed death rumour which has sent shock waves down the spines of her fans.
It should be recalled that Nigeria’s Pete Edochie , has been a victim as he was rumoured to have fallen off a cliff at a movie location in Australia and died. Recently, Ghanaian actor, Van Vicker was also rumoured to have died in a ghastly motor accident.The stories were all false as the victims responded and declared they were hale and hearty.
In Okorie’s, it was a clear case of mistaken identity and lack of verification by bloggers who heard the news that an actress by the name Ijeoma Okori had died during child birth.
Without cross checking their facts, they went to town with the rumour, claiming Angela was the one who died, not knowing the said Ijeoma was an actress based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.
To confirm her being alive, the pretty Angela took to social media to let her fans know she has not died.
In a picture she posted on her Facebook wall, Angela Okorie said she bears the mark of Christ and shall live to declare the works of her Lord.
She also posted a message to her fans to disregard the rumour that she was the one that died.
