The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) announced that veteran actor Zack Orji recently had two successful brain surgeries.
The national president of AGN, Emeka Rollas, confirmed this and mentioned that Zack is now in good health.
Rollas also mentioned that Zack will need to travel abroad for a post-surgery evaluation. He expressed his disappointment towards those who spread false information about Zack’s condition.
“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,” he said.
It was rumored on Thursday that the actor had passed away, but Emeka Rollas quickly dismissed the claims.
Zack Orji collapsed on December 31, 2023, and was promptly taken to the intensive care unit at the National Hospital in Abuja. He was later transferred to a private hospital for surgery.
