Reports went viral online earlier that alleged serial
rapist, Michael Asiwaju with the Twitter handle, @
asiwaju_limited had committed suicide.
This was coming after the allegations of rape
levelled against him recently. He had reportedly
taken Sniper, a poisonous insecticide in his hotel
room on the 13th of January, 2019.
However, his brother, Dapo Asiwaju has taken to
Twitter to debunk the claims about his brother’s
supposed death. In a tweet, Dapo said that his
brother is in a coma and not dead.
He also implored social media users and news
outlets to stop spreading fake news about his
brother’s state.
He tweeted,
My brother isn’t Dead, he’s in Coma. Y’all
should please stop spreading False
information.

It would be recalled that Michael who is better
known as Mike Cash and is the founder of
Asiwaju Royal Furniture allegedly raped a woman
in his car in May 2017. A Twitter user with the
handle, @thatgoddess made the allegation but
said she did not have enough information. In an
attempt to prove herself, she posted a chat
history between him and the said woman as
receipts.
In reaction to the accusations, he posted s*x
videos of some of the girls claiming that there
were his girlfriends. However, tweeps said that
the pictures he posted were not in sync with the
girls especially the girl that raised the issue on
Twitter. He went ahead to claim that his mother
had died after hearing of the incident but sources
who know him refuted the claim and said that his
parents had long been dead. Thereafter, he
alleged that it was his former colleague who is
now involved in politics that is responsible for the
accusations.
This drama was prior to his 2015 case when he
was accused and arrested for rape by a Unilorin
student and reportedly tried to bribe his way out
of the case.
