‘My Brother Died After Years of Illness, Not Murder’ — Family Debunks Viral Claims, Threatens Legal Action
The family of the late Solomon Iwerebor has dismissed reports circulating on social media alleging that he was murdered, describing the claims as “pathological lies” and warning those behind them to be prepared to face legal action.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Solomon’s younger brother, Justin Iwerebor, said the deceased had been battling a prolonged illness since 2006 and that members of the family, including his children, had consistently supported his medical treatment over the years.
Justin, in a statement issued in response to the viral reports, said the circumstances surrounding his brother’s death had been distorted by individuals allegedly seeking to malign the family and create unnecessary controversy around their loss.
He also rejected reports that Solomon returned from Germany to Ghana about two years ago, clarifying that his brother actually returned to Nigeria from Germany more than eight years ago to seek medical treatment for his condition.
According to him, the family took Solomon to several medical facilities during his prolonged illness before eventually deciding to seek spiritual intervention at Grace Nation Global, where prayers were offered for his recovery.
“We wish to state categorically that these reports are capital and pathological lies fabricated by unscrupulous blackmailers,” Justin said.
The family expressed disappointment over what it described as attempts to exploit their grief by spreading unverified allegations, particularly claims suggesting that Justin had a role in his brother’s death.
Justin warned bloggers, social media influencers and others circulating the allegations to immediately desist, insisting that anyone making such serious accusations must be prepared to provide credible and verifiable evidence.
He said the family would not hesitate to pursue legal remedies against individuals who continue to spread what it considers defamatory and malicious claims.
“This is not the time to drag innocent people into a family’s grief for clout. The law will definitely take its course,” he warned.
The Iwerebor family appealed to members of the public to disregard the reports and allow the family to mourn their loss in peace.
