Actor Zack Orji has dissociated himself from a podcast video that went viral on Monday where he appeared to say he was born in Gabon.
The controversial video also appeared to show Zack saying his father’s job required him to travel extensively to various countries, resulting in his (Zack’s) birth occurring in Gabon.
However, in a disclaimer on Tuesday issued on social media, the movie star said the Gabon link was a “lie from the pit of hell.”
His disclaimer read, “Not long ago, they said I was dead, and, by God’s grace and mercy, it eventually turned out to be a lie from the pit of hell.
“Now, another lie from the pit of hell has emerged, claiming that I said, ‘I’m from Gabon, I’m not a Nigerian’.
“I hereby issue a disclaimer dissociating myself from that lie. I am a full-blooded Nigerian, both of my parents are Nigerians.
“I am from Enugu State, the Coal City State. I am proudly Nigerian, and I am equally proud of my Nigerian heritage.
“God almighty will deal with whoever originated that lie as he dims fit.”
