November 16, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Nancy Iheme, has revealed the deteriorating mental condition of veteran actor, Hanks Anuku.
She took to social media to make a lengthy post about the actor’s condition while slamming her colleague, Shan George, for covering it up instead of calling for help for the ailing actor.
Her outburst came after a video of the actor surfaced online. Anuku was filmed wandering around unkept like a mentally challenged man.
Iheme revealed that she has been trying to keep calm and mind her business since the news broke out but her conscience wouldn’t let her be.
She confirmed that Anuku’s condition isn’t a secret to most Asaba residents and actors, as many have seen him in different odd locations at odd hours.
Iheme recounted an encounter she had with him at a restaurant where he almost beat her up for no reason.
“I have been trying to keep calm and mind my business since yesterday but my conscience wouldn’t let me, this disturbing video of Legendary Uncle Hanks Anuku surfaced on internet, which is true, which is his reality.
“@shangeorgefilms came out to debunk it instead of letting him get the help he needs at last, instead of allowing people help him you cancelled a truth. Why na?
“Uncle Hank’s condition is not a secret to any Asaba-based actor neither is it to most Asaba residents as most people have seen him in different odd locations in abnormal state.
“Personally, I have had an encounter with him at 1 sidebar where I normally buy fish pepper soup whenever I’m in Asaba. This incident happened last month on the 27th of October, where he almost beat me up for no reason, he said some hurtful words to me and @ujunwa_aninneji but we kept calm because he wasn’t himself.
“From that day, I prayed he could get help and finally yesterday that God was about to answer that prayer, you stopped it for reasons best known to you. Drinking to stupor, walking around Asaba is not new. Pls this post is to plead to well meaning Nigerians. Hanks Anuku needs help”, she stated.
