Veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu has broken his silence after a false report of his death surfaced online, strongly refuting the claims and assuring fans that he is alive, healthy, and looking forward to living long enough to see his grandchildren. He emphasized this further by saying, “I am here to carry my grandchildren, and I must carry them in good health when my children are ready.”

The actor’s reaction to the death hoax was direct and firm:

Agu condemned the anonymous blogger who posted a “Rest in Peace” message about him, accusing the person of spreading the false news solely to chase likes, views, and comments.

He described the post as “diabolical news” and declared that those wishing him dead would be buried before him.

Agu revealed that if the rumor had come from a well-known blogger, he would have pursued legal action for defamation, cyber harassment, and damages to his business and reputation. However, he said he would not sue this particular individual, whom he described as a “poor blogger struggling for likes and views.”

The actor called on his fans and family to completely disregard the report and to report the page spreading the misinformation.

He thanked everyone who reached out to him and his family after hearing the false news, showing appreciation for their concern and support.

Agu stressed that he is in “perfect good health” and not sick in any way, contrary to the false claims that had also circulated alongside the death hoax.

Meanwhile, many Nigerians on social media have condemned the blogger’s actions. Some have urged the veteran actor to go ahead and sue the blogger, arguing that such false reports made just to generate traffic—especially on platforms like Facebook—should be punished to serve as a deterrent to others.

Na VDM fit dem... As VDM ban dem from posting his activities, no more stories for them to gather engagement, now na rumours and fake news they fall back to

But what exactly do people who go about spreading fake death about others gain

me sef think say he don die.
Social media and fake news na 5 & 6.
May u live long Sir

These people need to be sued for spreading fake news imagine rubbish.

Na wa o
Some of this bloggers need to be arrested and publicly shamed

Nawa o, they also did same thing to Nkem Owoh some years ago. He shouldn't allow the matter slide, that blogger deserve to be dealt with.

Why wishing your fellow innocent man death just to chase online cloud? The law of the nature will definitely catch up you.

I don't know why sometimes people act like villlage people even faster in taking people's life before they die!

Why the rush?

All for content!

If you think say being a celebrity na piece of cake, think am again

It is a very bad thing for some people to be declaring somebody dead while the person is still alive is a very bad thing I don't know

The blogger is meant to be sued and he or she should face the penalties so as to serve as a lesson to bloggers who have the same agenda like him or her. One thing for sure he or she will still continue his or her very bad act except he or she faces punishment for it.

Why spread such nonsense over somebody who is still hail and hearty, for what reason, just to make money or what?

This is so disheartening and senseless.

I personally don't even like spreading the news of a deseased even if im the 1st to hear, I rather people hear it from another person, not me.

Death is not what any living person ought to wish anyone.

Wisdom is profitable to direct
Get one

If only they could bind NIN with all our social media account, this will continue.

Wow! That was a thunderous response from Chiwetalu. This is like a straight bullet in the head of that miserable blogger.

Saying someone is dead when he's still alive and kicking is pure witchcraft.

May the Lord prolong his days.

Meanwhile eternity should be our focus, no matter how long you live on Earth, eternity is longer infact, eternity is endless.

Only those who accept Christ as Lord and Saviour will have life Eternal.

Sensible man. Usually his demeanor and poise is class. Him, Mr Ebu, Sam loco Efe, are full of theatrics! Wonderful trio

What do people benefit from starting a false death rumour?!

From a mzani in SA ??

Why someone would woke up and type a story of someone death baffles my imagination. Why this relentless pursuit of likes, comments and views. It's so unfortunate. Don't waste your time suing him, he will meet someone who does if he refused to amend his ways.

Amen, may those who wish him evil be buried before him

Nothing do this man. I am happy at how he came out to mock bad wishers. He's still coherent, sound and good.

that's y I don't do Facebook, u can only find such stupid news in Facebook n d most annoying part is that those fools who comment don't even bother to use chatgpt or anything to confirm, they just follow thread.



The day I gave up on Facebook was the day a blogger put the picture of national theatre and claimed funke akindele just got a new house, imagine people under d comments were just typing congratulations.


I was so annoyed that I have to check n check again to b sure it's national theatre.

People wey dey tell girls "Thanks for accepting me". Which sense you expect from those kind people?

By the way, I'm glad CHIWETALU AGU is hale & hearty. May the Almighty God grant him many more fruitful years on earth.

But it's strange that he hasn't carried his grandchildren at that age o. Or am I missing something ni?
