There were recent reports circulating on social media that veteran Nollywood actor Zack Orji had passed away after undergoing medical evaluation in the UK. However, the actor himself has refuted these rumors, describing them as a lie from the pit of hell.
In a recent interview on Nigeria’s Channels Television, Zack Orji spoke out against the false reports, stating that he had not succumbed to any illness and was very much alive. He expressed his disbelief at the spread of such fake news and the impact it had on his friends and family who were concerned for his well-being.
The President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, Chief Emeka Rollas, also took to social media to debunk the rumors surrounding Zack Orji’s supposed death. Emeka Rollas urged the public to ignore mischief makers who enjoy spreading fake news and expressed his belief that Zack Orji would live on to continue his work in the industry.
These rumors came just days after the passing of another veteran actor, Amaechi Muonagor, who lost his battle with kidney disease. The false reports about Zack Orji’s death serve as a reminder of the dangers of misinformation and the impact it can have on individuals and their families.
