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

Agu reacted on Friday in a video posted on his Instagram page after reports circulated online claiming he had died.

According to the actor, the false claim came from a blogger who spread the news without confirming the facts, causing fear among his fans and family.

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 video, he added, “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.”

Agu, known for his comic roles and sharp proverbs, also said he would have taken legal action if a major blogger had published the false news.

He said, “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 actor’s reaction comes after an online blogger falsely claimed he had passed away, sparking confusion and panic among his admirers.
