The Catholic Church has come out to refute reports circulating on social media indicating that His Eminence Cardinal John Njue is dead.
In a statement to media houses, the Archdiocese of Nairobi, Office of the Auxiliary Bishop said the claims are untrue.
“It has come to our attention that persistent rumours are circulating regarding the alleged death of His Eminence John Cardinal Njue. We wish to categorically state that these claims are entirely false and without foundation,” read the statement signed by Rt. Rev. Wallace Ng’ang’a Gachihi.
Gachihi said Njue is alive, and asked Kenyans to disregard the “baseless rumours”.
“We kindly urge all to refrain from sharing or entertaining unverified information, particularly on sensitive matters such as this. Should there be any official communication regarding His Eminence's health or any other matter, it will be conveyed through official church channels. We ask that you continue to keep Cardinal Njue in your prayers, and we wish him continued good health and blessings,” he added.
