The national president of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Emeka Rollas has revealed that movie star Zack Orji underwent two successful brain surgeries and he is in good health.
The AGN president disclosed this to Afia TV on Wednesday, adding that Zack needs to be flown abroad for a post-surgery evaluation.
Emeka Rollas also expressed his disappointment at those who spread false information about Zack’s 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 to 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 putting together 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.”
Rumour that the actor has passed on started circulating on the internet on Tuesday, forcing Emeka Rollas to debunk the speculation.
Zack, 64, slumped on December 29 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.
