Prime Care Hospitals in Abuja has formally dismissed widespread social media claims alleging the death of popular content creator King Mitchy, describing the reports as false and misleading.
In a statement released to address the growing speculation, the medical facility clarified that King Mitchy was never admitted to its hospital at any time. The management emphasized that the viral posts circulating across multiple platforms are unfounded and should be disregarded by the public.
Hospital Moves to Curb Misinformation
According to the hospital’s communication team, the clarification became necessary following a surge of inquiries from concerned members of the public and media organizations. Officials warned that the rapid spread of unverified health information online continues to pose reputational and ethical risks.
“The individual in question was not admitted to our facility,” the hospital stated, urging bloggers and social media users to verify claims before publication.
The hospital further reaffirmed its commitment to patient confidentiality, professional ethics, and accurate public communication.
Social Media Amplification Raises Concern
The rumour about King Mitchy’s alleged death gained traction across Nigerian social media spaces, highlighting the persistent challenge of digital misinformation within the country’s fast-moving online ecosystem.
Media analysts note that public figures particularly influencers and content creators have increasingly become targets of death hoaxes, often driven by engagement-seeking online behaviour.
Call for Responsible Digital Publishing
Industry observers and media watchdogs continue to urge stronger verification standards among bloggers and citizen journalists. The latest incident underscores the need for media literacy and responsible information sharing, especially in Nigeria’s highly active digital environment.
As of the time of this report, there has been no verified confirmation of any medical emergency involving King Mitchy from family members or official representatives.
