This is "Bala Haruna", the stuntsman from Bauchi State who bath himself
inside gutter to celebrate the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in
the just concluded presidential election in Nigeria.
The news
that this young has died as a result of his misadventure went viral,
such that even reputable newspapers have reported it. Fake news on the
frowl, even giant media house like The Guardian has fallen prey.
Firstly, "Bala Haruna" is not dead. Secondly, his name is not Bala Haruna. His name is Aliyu Muhammad Sani (aka Aliyu Gayu).
On
hearing about the news of his death, I took it upon myself to come down
to Bauchi to console and condole his family, only for me to see this
young man not only alive but healthy. The guy is sound, and spoke
eloquently. His looks and mien are those of a gentleman. He doest smoke,
he doesn't take pills. The guy was simply driven by mad love for a
person he considers the best Nigeria birthed so far. In spite of all
these, I warned him seriously about such misadventures in future.
