Veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji has fumed at those spreading the rumour that he is from Gabon.

Orji said: “Not long ago, they said I was dead, and, by God’s grace and mercy, it eventually turned out to be a lie from the pit of hell.”

“Now, another lie from the pit of hell has emerged, claiming that I said, “I’m from Gabon, I’m not a Nigerian.”

“I hereby issue a disclaimer dissociating myself from that lie. I am a full-blooded Nigerian, both of my parents are Nigerians.”

“I am from Enugu State, the Coal City State. I am proudly Nigerian, and I am equally proud of my Nigerian heritage.”

“God almighty will deal with whoever originated that lie as he dims fit.”

For those who don’t know, the rumour surfaced after the actor was seen in a viral video, saying that he was born in Gabon, which would make him a citizen of the Central African nation.
