Zack Orji Survived Two Brain Surgeries, He’s In Good Health – AGN President, Emeka Rollas

Emeka Rollas, the national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), has provided reassuring updates regarding the health of veteran actor Zack Orji.

KanyiDaily recalls that Zack Orji’s health crisis began when he collapsed on December 31, 2023, and was subsequently admitted to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja.

On Monday, rumors regarding the actor’s death circulated on the internet, prompting Emeka Rollas to swiftly debunk the false speculations.

In an Instagram post, the AGN President confirmed Orji’s well-being, describing his death rumour as the work of mischief-makers.

Speaking to Afia TV on Wednesday, Rollas revealed that the 64-year-old actor underwent two successful brain surgeries and is currently in stable condition.

The AGN president, however, disclosed that Zack Orji will require further medical evaluation abroad post-surgery.

Rollas described the spread of death rumors as inhumane, stressing the need for responsible behavior, particularly in sensitive matters concerning an individual’s health and well-being.

He said: “Becacue 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.

“Zack is never in a position of seriously needing attention as to speak, if not because of privacy I would have just connected him on the phone here, you will see him.

“He just needs a post-surgery evaluation abroad which we are gradually putting together money to send him abroad for that.

“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.”

Zack Orji’s death rumour comes shortly after the demise of another veteran actor, Amaechi Muonagor, due to kidney failure.
