Renowned actor Zack Orji has strongly criticized those who circulated false rumours of his demise in recent weeks.

These baseless speculations emerged amidst reports of his medical journey to the UK, where he underwent two critical brain surgeries.

Speaking in a recent interview on Channels Television, Orji stated that social media has made people to be reckless to the extent of spreading fake news.

Orji stated he received different calls from people who haven’t reached out to him in years, simply because they were concerned for him.

In his words, “I don’t know who originated that lie, I call it a lie from the pit of hell that…well not myself, they had passed away.

“I saw it and I started receiving all kinds of calls, even calls from people I hadn’t heard from for years, most of them were just concerned, they wanted to find out if it was true and all of that.

“I can only say that sometimes social media has made people to be so reckless and callous to the point of spreading fake news just to grow their page.”
