In the article, Linda Ikeji narrated how she’s known Mr Aye Dee whose real name is Mukhtar Alexander Dan’Iyan for many years and that he has been his very good friend and supporter. Miss Ikeji talked about how Alex, whom she knew then as Alex Info 1976AD used to send her articles to post on her blog as well as give her tips on how to grow her blog.
She said she lost contact with Alex sometime ago and was shocked to find out he was the @MrAyeDee that tried to shut down her blog. She then posted texts and screen grabs of her Google Hangouts conversation with @MrAyeDee.
Even though Linda Ikeji claimed she did not know @MrAyeDee was the same person as his long lost friend, the screen shots from their conversation showed the user’s name as Aye Dee.
