By Jeffrey Agbo
Veteran Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu, has dismissed social media reports suggesting he had passed away.
In a video posted on Instagram on Friday, the seasoned actor urged his supporters and relatives to ignore the misinformation.
His caption read, “Fans and family, please disregard any rumors about my death, and kindly report the page of the blogger who started spreading them. I am very much alive by God’s grace.”
In the clip, Agu reaffirmed his vitality, stating, “Chief Chiwetalu Agu, okenmiri n’ezoru Oha 1 of Etiti Amokwe, Enugu State is not going to die anytime soon.
“Instead I will be the one to bury my enemies. Na who dig pit go fall inside. Na who dig grave go fall inside.
“I am yet to carry my grandchildren and I must carry them in good health when my children are ready.”
He further remarked that if a more influential platform had spread the news, he would have pursued legal action. “If it were any of the big bloggers,” he said, he would have sued for defamation and damages, but noted that the blogger behind the story is “still struggling with likes.”
The actor added, “What baffles me is that in this 21st century, 2025, a lot of people are still gullible to believe such things without confirming whether it is true or not. Fan and families, disregard any rumours or rebuke anyone spreading such diabolical news about me.”
The clarification comes after an online blogger falsely claimed Agu had died, sparking confusion among his fans.
