A Nollywood actor, Hanks Anuku, has refuted the second death rumour being peddled in one month.
Since reports of his death were rife on social media, the actor posted a similar video on his Facebook page on June 6.
The news comes days after being reported dead by Nollywood star, Olu Jacobs.
Nevertheless, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) quashed the rumors of the death of Olu Jacob, saying that the veteran actor is “alive, very hale, and hearty.”
Obviously, Hanks Anuku, 59, was upset about the misinformation he said about “poisonous press vipers” being peddled.
The actor, currently based in Delta State, said this in a video that was shared Monday on his Instagram page.
Anuku also called on the public to ignore his death rumors, adding that those who wish him evil will “be clothed in evil.”
He said, “I am Hank Anuku Nollywood actor and I’m alive. My haters are dead…Jesus Christ is my deliverer and he liveth. Poisonous press vipers on the prowl but they shall be perplexed and disappointed in Jesus’s name. Amen. I love you fans.”
