Legendary Nigerian actor, Zack Orji has described rumours of his death as “a lie from the pit of hell”.

The celebrated thespian who recently travelled to the United Kingdom for medical evaluation after undergoing two brain surgeries said in a recent interview on Channels Television that social media has made people to be reckless to the extent of spreading fake news.

According to Zack, he received different calls from people who reached out to him in years, simply because they were concerned for him.

”I don’t know who originated that lie, I call it a lie from the pit of hell that…well not myself, they had passed away.I saw it and I started receiving all kinds of calls, even calls from people I hadn’t heard from for years, most of them were just concerned, they wanted to find out if it was true and all of that.

”I can only say that sometimes social media has made people to be so reckless and callous to the point of spreading fake news just to grow their page.”

Zack Orji further thanked the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) for their support.

It will be recalled that the actor slumped last year December 2023 and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja, before he was transferred to a private hospital for surgery.
