Emeka Rollas, the President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), has refuted rumors circulating on social media about the death of veteran actor Zack Orji.
KanyiDaily recalls that Zack Orji had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the National Hospital in Abuja on New Year’s Eve.
In an Instagram post, Rollas confirmed Orji’s well-being, describing his death rumour as the work of mischief-makers.
“Mr. Zack Orji is alive,” Rollas stated, urging the public to disregard false news spread by people seeking to sow discord.
The AGN president condemned the spread of such fake news, emphasizing the cruelty of those behind it.
Rollas expressed his firm belief that Zack Orji would not only survive but also continue to contribute positively to society.
He wrote, ”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 unacceptable.
“He will not die but live to declare the good works of God in Jesus’ name.”
The rumour comes shortly after the death of another veteran actor, Amaechi Muonagor, due to kidney failure.
