The family of late Solomon Iwerebor has finally responded to viral claims surrounding his death.
The family has dismissed allegations that he was murdered, describing the reports as false and deliberately spread.
In a statement, his younger brother, Justin Iwerebor, said Solomon died after battling a long illness. He also warned those accusing him of involvement to provide evidence or face legal action.
Justin, speaking on behalf of the family, described the murder allegations as “capital and pathological lies fabricated by unscrupulous blackmailers.”
He explained that Solomon had been ill since 2006. According to him, the family knew about his condition and supported his treatment.
He added that Solomon’s children regularly sent money to help cover his medical expenses throughout the years.
The family also addressed claims that Solomon left Germany for Ghana two years ago. Justin said his brother actually returned to Nigeria more than eight years ago.
According to him, Solomon came back to receive proper medical care. The family later took him to several hospitals and other medical facilities.
Justin said they eventually agreed to seek spiritual support at Grace Nation Global, where they brought Solomon for prayers.
While expressing grief over the loss, the family warned bloggers and social media users against spreading unverified claims.
Justin specifically cautioned individuals accusing him of having a role in his brother’s death.
He insisted that anyone making such serious allegations must provide verifiable evidence.
“Anyone making such grave accusations must be ready to present verifiable facts and evidence or face the full consequences of the law,” he warned.
He further said the family would not tolerate attempts to exploit their grief for online attention.
“This is not the time to drag innocent people into a family’s grief for clout. The law will definitely take its course.”
However, his family insists that he died after a prolonged illness. The statement was signed by Justin Iwerebor, identified as the deceased’s younger brother.
