Segun Arinze, Nigerian actor
Nigerian actor, Segun Arinze, has dismissed rumours circulating on the internet that he is ill and in need of financial assistance.
The rumours started after photos of him looking frail with a bloated stomach surfaced on social media.
In a video on Instagram, Arinze assured fans that he is in perfect health.
He explained that the photos were taken on a movie set and did not reflect the actual state of his health.
Arinze expressed gratitude to those who reached out to him out of concern.
He however, warned the public to be vigilant to avoid falling victim to scams.
He emphasised that he does not need any financial support for medical expenses.
He said: “I want to thank my fans, friends, and associates all over the world for reaching out to me through calls and WhatsApp messages to find out how I’m doing.
“As you can see, I’m very fine. I’m fit as a fiddle. Those pictures flying around were taken from a film set. I don’t know why some people decided to cause mischief with them.
“I will continue to do my work, I will continue to contribute to the growth of my industry and Nigeria. God bless you. I love you.”
