Former Nigerian International, Wilson Oruma has debunked reports that went viral last weekend claiming he is battling deteriorating of health and currently bed-ridden.

A video went viral last week showing an ailing man who looked like Oruma being administered intravenous fluid on a sick bed, somemwhere in Lagos.

The video stired mixed reactions on social media, with some fans sending prayers and well wishes, while some knocked sports especially football administrators for neglecting retired athletes.

However, on Tuesday in another video shared online by his elder brother, Oruma was visibly seen in a delightful mood, as he appreciated the fans for their love and concerns, adding that he and his family are “healthy and sound”.

The 1996 Olympics gold medalist confirmed the time stamp of the new video and said he is “good and looks cute”.
