The investigative journalist tweeted: “Yinka Odumakin did not die of #Covid19. He was poisoned by people in his inner circle and his wife knows that. He had so much lack of oxygen in his last moments. Instead of launching a police investigation, they cover it sweeping it under the carpet and changing the death date.”
