Veteran Nollywood actress, Ngozi Ezeonu has debunked reports that she is dead.
The actress in a video on her Instagram page, said she is “alive and healthy”.
She was reacting to reports on social media that said she had passed on.
According to her, her previous post in which she posted a candle was a tribute to a friend she recently lost.
“I lost a very close friend of mine, I posted a candle, a half-burnt candle and they now put my picture on that candle and everybody is saying that I died.
“It is wrong. I am alive and healthy, please.
“In journalism, what you do when in doubt is you leave out. If you cannot get across to the person to at least confirm the story, you don’t post.
“Don’t do that, please. Don’t try it again. This is a new year, why would anybody want to hurt each other just because they want people to follow them?”
“The calls I have been receiving have been very worrisome. I don’t know why anybody should take my post.” She added
