Nigeria’s former Military President, retired General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, has spoken from Germany where he has been in the last few weeks.
IBB, as he is fondly called, said he is alive contrary to reports that he had passed on.
Babangida, speaking on a Television Continental programme on Wednesday, said he would soon return home.
The Lagos-based television programme, Journalists Hangout, was quoted by an online medium as where Babangida called in to dispel the rumour of his death.
He told TVC crew: “I am alive.”
As at press time, journalists were still laying siege to his Hilltop Mansion in Minna, Niger State for news on his whereabouts.
