Jordan Nyesom-Wike, son of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike was not shot dead in the United States, the state government has said.
A trending post on social media had alleged that Wike’s son was killed in the US over the governor’s alleged manipulation of the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections in Rivers State.

The report showed the governor’s son in a convocation gown at his graduation from the University of Exeter, UK, last July, flanked by Wike, his wife Justice Suzette and their daughter, posing for the cameras.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and his Abia State counterpart Okezie Ikpeazu, who are part of the aggrieved PDP G5 governors, were present to celebrate with Wike’s family in the UK.
