Veteran actor Segun Arinze has dismissed circulating rumours that he is seriously ill and in need of financial help.
The claims emerged after photos showing him with a bloated stomach, appearing frail on a movie set, began circulating on social media.
Taking to Instagram, Arinze released a video in which he reassured his fans that his health is excellent.
He explained that the images were taken during filming and do not represent his actual condition.
Expressing his gratitude to those who reached out with their concerns, Arinze cautioned the public against falling victim to scams and clarified that he does not require any financial assistance for medical bills.
He stated: “I want to thank my fans, friends and associates all over the world for reaching out to me through calls and WhatsApp messages to find out how I’m doing.”
“As you can see, I’m very fine. I’m fit as a fiddle. Please, I am as fit as a fiddle. Those pictures flying around were taken from a film set. I don’t know why some people decided to cause some mischief with them.”
“I will continue to do my work, I will continue to contribute to the growth of my industry and Nigeria. God bless you. I love you.”
