Netizens react to the new update
nnenna_aldo:
"A man just died, and you left all medical reasons to blame it on his ex wife? And even lied on top? Must women be blamed for men’s death? Yes they are separated and had children together, but isn’t that the case for many couples who are no longer together? Why must we tie his death on a woman’s head? Smh ♀️"
db_naturals_:

Saint Obi's family denies claims that he suffered in his marriage
The family of late Nollywood star actor Mr. Obinna Nwafor, popularly known as Saint Obi, responded to the news that made the rounds about his marriage.
In a statement signed by the actor's two elder sisters on behalf of their family, they emphasised that some of the articles about Obi were untrue and should be stopped immediately to avoid misinformation.
They claimed that the information provided by one Mr. Zik Zulu Okafor regarding the passing of our son, Mr Obinna Nwafor, better known as Saint Obi, and the critical commentary that has followed on the majority of social media platforms that has unfairly and maliciously portrayed his wife are completely untrue.
