The Actor’s Guild of Nigeria (AGN) president, Emeka Rollas, has provided Nigerians with information regarding veteran actor Zack Orji.
This occurs shortly after reports circulated on social media, mostly on Facebook, that he had passed away.
On the last day of the year 2023, it was reported that Zack Orji had slumped and was rushed to an Abuja hospital’s ICU, while in critical condition.
The AGN president used social media to dispel the claims. On his verified Instagram account, he said that some “mischief makers who enjoy circulating fake news” were to blame for the veteran’s purported death.
Emeka Rollas debunked claims of Zack Orji’s demise while warning netizens to be careful of believing fake news. In his words:
“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.”
After the AGN president cleared the air about Zack Orji’s situation, a number of netizens including Nollywood stars took to his comment section to react.
