The president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN Emeka Rollas, has revealed that veteran actor Zack Orji underwent two successful brain surgeries and is currently in good health.
Rollas disclosed this in an interview with Afia TV, stating that Zack now requires a post-surgery evaluation abroad.
He expressed frustration at individuals who spread false rumors about Orji’s death, highlighting the detrimental effects of such misinformation in the digital age where online presence often trumps accuracy.
He said;
Because of the internet age, people just want to grow their page and they can spill nonsense, that was why somebody woke up yesterday morning and said Zack has passed on and I quickly reacted

Rollas emphasized that Orji is not in dire need of attention, aside from privacy concerns, and is gradually raising funds to send him abroad for further evaluation.
Zack is never in a position of seriously needing attention as we speak, if not because of privacy, I would have just connected him on the phone here, you will see him.

Rollas condemned the inhuman act of spreading false news about Orji’s passing, urging the public to disregard such rumors.
He has survived two brain surgeries, he is in good health, and he is speaking. For somebody to wake up and say that Zack has passed on is inhuman.
