Yes,Muna mighty have wanted or lived a private life but people knew he was s!ck,people knew his health condition and yet what did they do,some tried but if they had cried out to the world MUNA might have gotten help. We are just colleagues NO REAL FRIENDS! Rest In Peace MUNA

My condolences to the family/fans of Muna Obiekwe. May God comfort us all. He was one of a kind. A consummate actor and a light dimmed early.And whoever that fake impostor of Muna is, making mundane capital out of his death on twitter, may that guy be afflicted if he doesn’t repent.

Just confirmed it from some close friends and relatives that he is really dead. The message from twitter that he was still alive was from a fake account. So this is my pain, how do you know what to believe and what not to believe? Where do we draw the line?

Over nine thousand people on twitter have believed that he is still alive because of the fake twitter account. REST IN PEACE BRO! I was really hoping that it was a rumor. God rest your soul. This is too painful. Whoever put that message out not the fake twitter account should be careful. Don’t play games with people’s lives like that.
