The rumors reporting that AC Milan midfielder and Ghanaian football star, Michael Essien, has contracted the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease surfaced yesterday, the African football circle was thrown into a frenzy, with many praying that the story turns out as false.
It was not long before it became clear that it was nothing more than rumors which allegedly must have been ignited by someone out to cause mischief.
I bring you the man who set the rumor mill aglow due to reasons best known to him.
Named Юрий Алкаев, his Twitter handle is @YuryAlkaev and his bio reads: ‘former SVR agent currently living in Northern Ireland. Owner of several Casino franchises across the British Isles and Scandinavia. Sports journalist.’
However, with the confusion caused by his tweets which quotes the spokesman of AC Milan in a report that is nowhere near the truth, one wonders what kind of journalist Alkaev is.
See his picture and his tweets that caused the rumours below: -
