Veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji has refuted the rumour that he is from Gabon.
Gatekeepers News reports that the rumour started after a podcast video showing him saying he is from Gabon went viral on Monday.
Orji took to his official Instagram page to tell the public he was born in Enugu state in Nigeria. He added that it wasn’t the first time a rumour about him would go viral.
He posted “I am a full-blooded Nigerian, hail from Enugu the coal city state, and proud of my Nigerian heritage. God should deal with those people that originated the lies.”
“Not long ago, they said I was dead. By God’s grace and mercy, it turned out to be a lie from the pit of hell.”
“Now, another lie from the pit of hell has emerged, this time they said that I am from Gabon. That I am not a Nigerian. I hereby issue a disclaimer dissociating myself from that lie. I am a full-blooded Nigerian.”
“Both my parents are Nigerians. I am from Enugu State, the coal city state. I am proudly Nigerian and equally proud of my Nigerian heritage.”
“God Almighty will deal with whoever originated that lie. He will deal with the liar as He deems fit.”
