Nigerian veteran Nollywood actor Zack Orji has debunked reports about his death after receiving medical care in the UK.
In a recent interview Zack Orji described the rumor as a lie from the pit of hell. “Errrm I don’t know who originated that lie, I call it a lie from the pit of hell that…well not myself, they had passed away.
“I saw it and I started receiving all kinds of calls, even calls from people I hadn’t heard from for years, most of them were just concerned, they wanted to find out if it was true and all of that.
“I can only say that sometimes social media has made people to be so reckless and callous to the point of spreading fake news just to grow their page,” he said.
Last month, the President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, Chief Emeka Rollas also debunked rumours about the actor’s death.
Emeka Rollas took to his Facebook page to dismiss the reports. This was
“Mr Zack Orji is alive. Please ignore mischief makers who enjoy circulating fake news. “This is to show how wicked some people can be. It is totally unacceptable. “He will not die but live to declare the good works of God in Jesus’ name,” Emeka wrote.
The falsehood were being peddled days after another veteran actor, Amaechi Muonagor, passed away after suffering kidney disease.
