Nollywood actor Zack Orji has passionately denied claims deduced in a viral podcast that he is from Gabon, stating that the video is untrue
In the podcast, Zack Orji appeared to reveal that he was born in Gabon, which would make him a citizen of the Central African nation.
However, he has issued a strong disclaimer announcing his Nigerian heritage and rejecting the claim.
In a statement sent to PUNCH Online on Tuesday, Orji said:
“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 I am equally proud of my Nigerian heritage.”
He also invoked divine justice on the originators of the lie, saying “God almighty will deal with whoever originated that lie as He deems fit.”
Orji’s denial comes after a previous false claim that he had passed away, which he also debunked as a lie.
He has reiterated his commitment to his Nigerian roots and heritage, putting the matter to rest.
