Ignore My Death Rumor, I'm Alive- Bamidele

Former House of Representatives member and Director General of Kayode Fayemi Campaign Council, Opeyemi Bamidele,  who on June 1, sustained gunshot wounds from an alleged mishandling of firearm by a policeman during a rally organised for Dr. Fayemi, has asked people to ignore his death rumour, saying he is alive.

A statement yesterday in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, by his media aide, Ahmed Salami, branded the rumour as an evil intention of the wicked. It said Bamidele is not only hale and hearty, but had greatly recuperated due to intensive medical treatment he had received and buoyed by fervent prayers of Ekiti citizens.

Shortly after Fayemi won the election, rumours went round that Bamidele had died at a London hospital where he has allegedly been recieving treatment.
