NewsWireNGR, online Nigerian newspaper, after apparently fooled by tweets from Twitter user @YuryAlkaev – who claims to be a sports journalist were the first to publish the story.
He told that AC Milan had confirmed that a deadly virus caught Essien. Michael Essien took to micro-blogging website Twitter where he totally disagrees about the news, and this is to notify them that the former Chelsea star is not taking the issue lightly at all.
He added, “On Sunday evening I was relaxing at home as usual when [Milan doctor Rodolfo] Tavana told me with this news, but I told him that it was untrue.”
“At first I took lightly, but then not so much because this is not something to be played with. I have spoken to my lawyers to understand and solve this case, what can be done.
“You cannot create news, I do not have Ebola.”
(GhanaLive.tv) this is the example of pure irresponsibility from the media, we hope that media officials soon learn that spreading false rumors about people can have devastating effects on them.
