Despite the fact that it was with heavy heart most movie buffs re-broadcasted news of the death of veteran actor, Sam Loco Efe, through their Black Berry, Facebook, Twitter and other online social networks, the sad news actually ignited confusion before it was finally confirmed.
While some colleagues held their brief when the news filtered to the internet, Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Esse Agesse, Stella Damasus led other showbiz icons, who quickly took over the twitter and Facebook to express their shock over Sam Loco’s death.
The situation took a dramatic turn when speculations rifled that Sam Loco was still alive, and twinkle of an eye, our screen goddess went back online to eat their words. And the most interesting ones were that of Genevieve Nnaji and Esse Agesse.
“This is the first time I have tweeted about a passing away and it will be the last. I am so sorry for spreading false news and my greatest apology to Uncle Sam. But that was how heartbroken I was,” Geneveive tweeted.
For Esse Agesse, her facebook post read, “Information getting to me says that Sam Loco Efe is alive. He suffered from heart attack on location earlier today in Imo State; he’s gradually recuperating in hospital in Owerri, pass around the message.” Quite ridiculous but the question begging for answer is that did Genevieve Nnaji, Esse Agesse, Rita Dominic, Stella Damasus and the rest, who got the news twisted, not with the contact of any right source to confirm the news before go online?
