There was report on Sunday that Award-winning novelist, Chimamanda Adichie lost her 40-year-old sister, Mrs Nkiru Okoye by unknown persons which has heightened tension in Abba community of Anambra State
However the award wining novelist has faulted the claims that she was related to the slain Nkiru Okoye.
In a statement on Sunday evening, Chimamanda’s team said the “lady in the story is neither Chimamanda’s sister nor a relative”.
The statement reads:
“Chimamanda is very shaken by this incorrect news and is disappointed at the unprofessionalism displayed by The Frontier, both with the first false post and the inaccurate rejoinder,” Omawumi Ogbe, a member of Chimamanda’s communications team said.
