Veteran Nollywood actor Zack Orji has denied claims that he stated he is from Gabon, following a podcast video that went viral on Monday.

The video appeared to show the actor revealing that he was born in Gabon, which would make him a citizen of the Central African nation

According to Orji, his fatherโ€™s job required him to travel extensively to various countries, resulting in Zackโ€™s birth occurring in Gabon.

However, Orji has issued a strong disclaimer, affirming his Nigerian heritage and rejecting the fact that he is from Gabon.

In a statement sighted by GTN on Tuesday, Orji said, โ€œNot long ago, they said I was dead, and, by Godโ€™s grace and mercy, it eventually turned out to be a lie from the pit of hell.
โ€œNow, another lie from the pit of hell has emerged, claiming that I said, โ€œIโ€™m from Gabon, Iโ€™m not a Nigerianโ€.

โ€œI hereby issue a disclaimer dissociating myself from that lie. I am a full-blooded Nigerian, both of my parents are Nigerians.

โ€œI am from Enugu State, the Coal City State. I am proudly Nigerian, and I am equally proud of my Nigerian heritage.

โ€œGod almighty will deal with whoever originated that lie as he dims fit.โ€
