Veteran Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu, has publicly denied circulating rumours of his death.
In a video shared on Instagram on Friday, Agu urged fans and family to ignore the false reports.
His caption read, “Fans and family, please disregard any rumors about my death, and kindly report the page of the blogger who started spreading them. I am very much alive by God’s grace.”
In the accompanying video, the veteran added, “Chief Chiwetalu Agu, okenmiri n’ezoru Oha 1 of Etiti Amokwe, Enugu State is not going to die anytime soon.
“Instead I will be the one to bury my enemies. Na who dig pit go fall inside. Na who dig grave go fall inside.
“I am yet to carry my grandchildren and I must carry them in good health when my children are ready.”
The actor added that if it were any of the “big bloggers” who carried the false information, he would have sued them for defamation, economic and business damage but he is not suing the blogger involved is “still struggling with likes.”
“What baffles me is that in this 21st century, 2025, a lot of people are still gullible to believe such things without confirming whether it is true or not. Fan and families, disregard any rumours or rebuke anyone spreading such diabolical news about me,” the actor added.
The actor’s clarification follows claims by an online blogger that he had passed away, sparking confusion among his admirers.
