Music artiste, Orduen Ikon, popularly known as OD Woods, has dismissed the false death report about his brother and fast-rising singer Terungwa Ikon better known as OrTrees.
On Monday, June 6, rumours that OrTrees was found dead near a river in Benue State, weeks after he went missing circulated on the internet.
Several blogs also reported that the singer was confirmed dead by a Facebook user identified as Orga Richard Chin who claimed his body was dumped near a river on Sunday, June 5.
Mr Orga also claimed that the deceased was abducted by unknown persons and tortured to death.
Clearing the air in a Facebook post on Monday, OD Woods stated that his brother’s body has not been found, adding that the police has new information about the case.
He wrote: “My brother has not been found, his body has not been found either. The police got new information regarding the case and I’m waiting on them for a complete report.”
The Benue-born singer first raised an alarm over his brother’s disappearance on April 19, 2022.
He wrote: “PLEASE HELP US FIND MY BROTHER. Name: Terungwa Albert Ikon aka Or Trees. On Wednesday 13th April 2022 he left my house to our family house at north bank Makurdi and we’ve not seen or heard from him since. Me (sic) and my entire family and have been working with law enforcement agencies, all the authorities but still haven’t found Ortrees.
