In a video shared on Instagram on Friday, the legendary actor urged the public to ignore the false reports, describing them as malicious and misleading. His caption read: “Fans and family, please disregard any rumours about my death, and kindly report the page of the blogger who started spreading them. I am very much alive by God’s grace.”
Taking a more personal tone in the video, Agu declared: “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.”The beloved actor, known for his wit and distinctive style, condemned the recklessness of the anonymous blogger who started the rumour. He noted that had it been a prominent platform, he would have pursued legal action for defamation, economic loss, and damage to his career. However, he described the blogger in question as someone “still struggling with likes.”
Expressing disappointment at the gullibility of some social media users, Agu added: “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. Fans and families, disregard any rumours or rebuke anyone spreading such diabolical news about me.”
The actor’s clarification comes after an online report falsely claimed he had passed away, sparking confusion and concern among admirers across Nigeria and beyond. His emphatic dismissal of the rumours has since reassured fans that the iconic screen star remains strong and vibrant.
