Popular Nollywood actor, Olaiya Igwe, is very angry with those spreading rumours about his health.

Rumours recently went viral on social media suggesting that the actor was seriously ill. This came after a video surfaced online showing the actor looking weak and sickly.

However, reacting via his Instagram page, the actor dismissed the rumour, explaining that the video was taken from a movie set and was part of his acting role.

He said: “I have seen some people wishing me to die. For those who are genuinely concerned, please relax. There is no problem. I was only acting my role, as you all know, I am a versatile actor.

“It was an Oga Latin movie we were shooting, and one of the scenes required me to play a sick father. It went viral and brought concern from the public. Some understood that I was only acting, while others thought I was actually sick and checked up on me.

“For those wishing me evil, evil will be their portion. I am okay and there is nothing wrong with me.”
