In response to widespread social media speculation, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has refuted claims of the demise of veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji. The erroneous reports emerged on Tuesday, prompting swift action from the AGN to clarify the situation.
Emeka Rollas, the National President of the AGN, took to Instagram to dispel the false rumors, affirming that Zack Orji is alive and well. Rollas urged the public to disregard the misinformation, labeling it as the work of mischievous individuals who propagate fake news. He emphasized Orji’s vitality and expressed disdain for those who spread baseless rumors.
This clarification comes amidst concerns over Orji’s health, following recent hospitalization. Despite battling health issues, including a critical condition that led to his hospitalization, Zack Orji remains resilient. The actor’s struggle with health complications has garnered attention, with well-wishers and fellow actors expressing support and solidarity.
The timing of these rumors coincides with the passing of another esteemed actor, Amaechi Muonagor, who succumbed to kidney failure. Such events amplify the need for responsible dissemination of information and highlight the susceptibility of public figures to false reports.
