Prof. Dora Akunyili is Alive! -Family

Professor Dora Akunyili is alive says family members.
By Michael Akins on May 31,
2014.

Few hours ago a website (names withheld ) posted online that the ill-health  former minister of information and communication and Nafdac boss, Professor Dora Akunyili has passed on, eliciting messages of “RIP” on the social media, but fresh reports from the stable of TheCable, an online news site,  revealed that the former director-general of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is alive and her family are “very baffled” by persistent
rumours of her death. A family member who – declined to be named– spoke with TheCable
said, “She is not dead,” “It’s
appearing to us that while many
people are genuinely concerned about her health, some are actually wishing her dead. We cannot understand the motive.” He told TheCable that the family is “baffled” by the unrelenting rumours. “We get calls almost everyday from people asking, ‘Is it true?’ We are very hopeful that she will recover. The doctors say her condition is improving. Her husband, Dr. Chike Akunyili, updates us regularly. He is a medical doctor. Our prayer is that she will be well and come back home. These rumours are killing us,” he said. The nature of her illness is yet to be made public, but there have been reports of cancer.
