A controversial blogger, Cyprian Nyakundi, has come out to apologies after he alleged that veteran journalist, Leonad Mambo Mbotela is dead.
Nyakundi on Friday through his twitter account reported that Mbotela had passed away in a road accident.
“Legend Leonard Mambo Mbotela of Huu ni uungwana show on KBC Tv hass passed in a Road Accident. #RIPMbotela,” wrote blogger Nyakundi.
The blogger has however issued an apology following the tweet after it emerged the legend journalist was alive.
According to Nyakundi, he had been misinformed by his source. He explained that he had allegedly confused Mbotela’s death with that of Kitutu Chache South Jubilee aspirant, Leonard Mwamba.
Mwamba passed away, Friday, July, 2017 in a road accident along Kisii-Kisumu road.
“Sorry guys. My always right source was wrong in the Mbotela story. Mzee is very ok and I apologize unreservedly for the post,” Nyakundi wrote.
Mbotela who dismissed the reports after going viral online, said he had forgiven the rumor mongers.
“I am alive, I am well. I thank God. Kindly pray that I live longer. I am alive. I am alive. I am alive. I forgive the person who crafted and peddled the false report that I perished in a road accident; he does not know what he is doing. May God forgive him too,” said Mbotela.
