During the period President Muhammadu Buhari was being treated for an undisclosed ailment in London, majority of Nigerians were confused as to the state of health of the president.
This gave rise to conspiracy theories fuelled by lack of adequate information by presidential spokespersons.
Many Nigerians then went online to search the question, ‘Is Buhari dead?’ which Google has disclosed topped their Most Asked Question list for 2017.
In a Year in Search 2017 list released to the media on Wednesday, the search engine giants also disclosed that Olamide’s Wo topped the most searched song list for the year, while dead Yoruba actress Moji Olaiya topped the most searched person’s list.
