The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has once again reassured Nigerians that veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji is alive and in good health.
This was revealed by the national President of AGN, Emeka Rollas, who went on to state that the highly revered thespian underwent two successful brain surgeries.
Rollas refuted viral social media claims that the actor had died.
Debunking the rumours, the AGN president took to his Facebook page, saying, “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.”
However, giving update on the health of his colleague, Rollas said that Zack needed to be flown abroad for a post-surgery evaluation and once again expressed his disappointment at those who spread false information about his death.
He said: “Because of the internet age, people just want to grow their page and they can spill nonsense, that was why somebody woke up yesterday morning and said Zack has passed on and I quickly reacted.
“Zack is never in a position of seriously needing attention as we speak, if not because of privacy I would have just connected him on the phone here, you will see him.
“He just needs a post-surgery evaluation abroad which we are gradually gathering money to send him abroad for that.
“He has survived two brain surgeries, he is in good health, and he is speaking. For somebody to wake up and say that Zack has passed on, is inhuman.”
Zack Orji slumped on December 31, 2023, and was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja, before he was transferred to a private hospital for surgery.
