Veteran Nollywood actor Francis Duru has dismissed reports claiming that he is battling a terminal illness.
The rumours spread widely on social media after a video showing the actor appearing frail surfaced online, raising concerns among fans and colleagues about his health.
Reacting to the speculation in a video shared on Instagram, the actor stated that he had never been seriously ill and described the reports as the work of people determined to spread negativity.
“My dear fans greetings to you all, thank you all for always being there for me with your prayers and your wishes. As you all know, I wish you all the same. I’m making this video in regards to a very wicked video circulating around about me being sick to that very level you can see in the video.
“I have never been that sick and would never be that sick. And by God’s grace I will keep being stronger and stronger.
“That video is the handwork of the merchant of darkness, wickedness, those who sit and concor negativity for people. They just don’t want to see people rise or believe in people’s success all in the course of driving traffic. This is just to let you people know that this is me talking to you. Anything beyond this is their business. Thank you so much for your concerns. I love you all,” the actor said.
Despite his clarification, the video itself generated further concern among some of his followers, who expressed worries about his physical appearance and noticeable weight loss.
One Instagram user, sunperfct, wrote, “U’re looking so slim and sound weak, divine healing upon you sir… We will not lose u in Jesus name. Amen.”
Another user, stellaseptemberamare, commented, “But you look sick or is it me? I pray God gives you healing in any area where you need it.”
Similarly, noni_stan1 stated, “Ahanna whatever thing you are going through I pray your God heals you, to me you don’t look strong but your God will give you strength to overcome everything. I love you so much (rattle snake).”
