Primecare Hospital in Abuja has publicly dismissed circulating reports that popular Nigerian content creator Mukoro Michelle, widely known as King Mitchy, died at its facility.
In a statement shared via its official Instagram page on Saturday, the hospital described the claims as entirely false, clarifying that King Mitchy was never admitted to its Abuja branch and did not pass away there.
“Prime Care Hospitals management wishes to inform the public that the announcement regarding the alleged death of Miss Mukoro Mitchelle, popularly known as King Mitchy, at our Abuja facility is false. King Mitchy was never a patient in our hospital and did not pass away here,” the statement read.
Social Media Rumours Spark Controversy
The hospital’s denial follows intense speculation on social media regarding King Mitchy’s alleged death, which gained traction amid an online feud involving controversial social media personality VeryDarkMan.
The controversy escalated after VeryDarkMan reacted to online claims suggesting that King Mitchy had consumed a substance identified as “Hypo.” The situation became more complicated when King Mitchy’s management team reportedly announced her passing—an assertion now contradicted by Primecare Hospital’s official statement.
Hospital Threatens Legal Action
Primecare Hospital emphasized that it is taking the matter seriously and has begun working with relevant authorities to trace the source of the misinformation.
According to the hospital, legal steps will be taken against individuals found responsible for spreading what it described as false and damaging claims.
“We are working with authorities to investigate the source of this misinformation and will take all necessary legal actions against those responsible. Please verify information through our official channels before sharing.”
Growing Concerns Over Online Misinformation
The incident highlights the rapid spread of unverified information on social media and the reputational risks such claims pose to individuals and institutions alike. As conflicting statements continue to circulate, the situation underscores the importance of relying on official sources before amplifying sensitive news.
At the time of reporting, no further verified update has been issued clarifying King Mitchy’s status.
