Veteran Nollywood actor Bob-Manuel Udokwu has dispelled rumours he died following an undisclosed sickness.
Speaking during a chat on Chude Podcast, Udokwu noted that it was his children who drew his attention to the rumours of his death circulation online. He noted that the rumour pedlers photoshoped his head and place it on a body lying in the hospital to make it look real.
“My children were the ones who saw the news before I did, and they came to tell me about it.
“They took my head and placed it on a body lying on a hospital bed. They used some of my old photographs, pasted them in the right places, and wrote that I had died.
“My children, especially my daughter, told me not to go to the police or the DSS to find the person responsible and make them pay. They advised me to leave it alone.”
