Veteran Nollywood actor Zack Orji has debunked social media rumours claiming that he is from Gabon.
Orji made this known via a post on his Instagram account on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.

He said: “Not long ago, they said I was dead; 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 deems fit.”
