Chiwetalu Agu breaks silence on death rumours

Veteran Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu, has dismissed rumours of his death, declaring that he is alive and in good health.

Agu, in a video shared on Instagram Friday, urged fans to ignore the false claims being circulated online.

“Fans and family, please disregard any rumours about my death, and kindly report the page of the blogger who started spreading them. I am very much alive by God’s grace,” he wrote.

In the video, the comic star said:
“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 blasted those spreading the fake story, saying that if a top blogger had carried it, he would have dragged them to court for defamation and economic damage.

“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. Fans and families, disregard any rumours or rebuke anyone spreading such diabolical news about me,” he added.

The 68-year-old actor’s clarification comes after an obscure blogger claimed he had passed away, sparking confusion among admirers.
