Ace Nigerian filmmaker and comedian Bolaji Amusan on Tuesday dispelled the rumour of his reported death, describing it as unfortunate and totally untrue.

The international filmmaker, known to his fans as Mr Latin, expressed bitterness against the backdrop of reports on some social media networks on his presumed demise, saying he was surprised at the rumour.
"I am hale and hearty. Please, help tell the whole world that I am very much alive," he told reporters at his base in southwest Nigeria's Ogun State.
"In fact, I had just finished some bottles of beer with my friends when I heard the rumour of my death," he explained.

He said less than 24 hours after the vile rumour broke out, his wife was delivered of a baby girl in Dublin, capital of Ireland on Tuesday.
The false news of the death of the filmmaker who had featured in movies both in England and the U.S., was widely relayed on Monday on some social media on the internet.
