Zack Orji’s wife Ngozi Orji denies asking support for ailing actor

Ngozi Orji, wife of sick actor Zack Orji, has denied seeking the public for financial assistance for her husband.

According to Leadership, Ngozi made the request while visiting her husband in the hospital with Hannatu Musawa, Minister of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy.

According to reports, the woman praised the minister for her generosity and urged the public for help.

“We thank God that he is alive today. He had an emergency surgery late last night after we moved him out of the previous hospital and that saved his life. We are happy that God has shown us mercy. We seek the support of kind Nigerians to pray for his quick recovery and assist us in any way they deem necessary, ” the report read.

However, in a chat with TheCable Lifestyle, Ngozi said the report that she sought public help for her husband is “false”.

Ngozi, also a gospel singer, wondered where the story originated from, adding that she never granted any interview concerning her husband’s health.

According to TheCable Lifestyle, the actress said: “I have not seen that. Really? I have not even had time to check. Really? For where na? Who did I tell that one? I do not remember granting interview to anybody. It is well. Please, I never said anything.”

Zack, 64, slumped on December 29 and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja, before he was transferred to a private hospital for surgery.
