Zack Orji survived two brain surgeries – Emeka Rollas, AGN president talks on veteran actor’s health

• Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) president Emeka Rollas has confirmed that movie star Zack Orji has undergone two successful brain surgeries and is currently in good health.

• The AGN president informed Afia TV that Zack needs to be flown abroad for a post-surgery evaluation.

• Emeka Rollas expressed disappointment at those who spread false information about Zack’s death.

The national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has stated that movie actor Zack Orji has undergone two successful brain surgeries and is in good health.

The AGN president told Afia TV on Wednesday that Zack needed to be sent abroad for a post-surgery examination.

Emeka Rollas also expressed disappointment with those who spread false information about Zack’s death.

He said:

“Because 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.”

On Tuesday, rumours of the actor’s death began to circulate on the internet, prompting Emeka Rollas to debunk the claims.

Zack, 64, collapsed on December 31, 2023, and was hospitalized to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja before being transferred to a private hospital for surgery.
