Additionally, he warned the public against falling for fraudulent schemes, emphasizing that no donations should be made on his behalf.
“I sincerely appreciate everyone who checked in on me,” he said. “As you can see, I’m perfectly fine. Those pictures were taken while filming, and unfortunately, some people decided to spread false information.
“I remain committed to my craft and to the industry I love. Thank you all for your support.”
With this statement, Segun Arinze puts an end to the speculation, assuring everyone that he is healthy and still actively contributing to Nollywood.
