Michael Odeyemi Folorunsho, popularly known as Yemi or Yemitheplug, has died and his friends blame this on negligence.

The Port Harcourt based social media influencer was seen struggling to breathe and neighbours who noticed he was having an asthma attack rushed him to the hospital in the early hours of Tuesday, Nov. 29.

However, they claim medics left him unattended.
