Nollywood actor, Mr Zack Orji has departed Nigeria for the United Kingdom for his scheduled post-surgery evaluation.
Pictures of him at the airport have surfaced online, prompting an outpouring of prayers from well wishers on social media.
On Wednesday, it was revealed by the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas that Orji underwent two successful brain surgeries and now requires a post-surgery evaluation abroad.
Recall that it was reported in some section of the media that Mr Zack has kicked the bucket but Emeka Rollas immediately dismissed the false reports.
He stressed the negative impact of such misinformation, particularly in the age of the internet where people prioritise growing their online presence over accuracy.
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 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.”
