Few days ago, Nigerians were shocked to hear the news that popular actor, Ernest Asuzu was found shirtless on the road as he was begging for alms on the streets of Lagos.
Explaining why he went begging, the popular actor who has featured along with many other prominent Nollywood actors stated that he went shirtless because he needed financial assistance for his medical bills.
Asuzu declared that he is not mentally derailed and further disclosed in a new video that he deliberately removed his shirt so that Nollywood practitioners would feel his pain.
While soliciting for funds from well meaning Nigerians to enable him to take care of his medical bills, Azuzu disclosed that he is currently down with a stroke and went public with the illness about six years ago.
A man identified as John Louis on Instagram uploaded a video of the actor. According to Louis, the actor was found begging for alms on the streets of Oke-Afa in Isolo, Lagos. The actor could also be seen in the video nodding in affirmation. Asuzu also looked dazed and disoriented in the video. “So we are calling on Nollywood to come and assist their member. It is not only to act the film, but this guy also cannot even walk,” Mr. Louis said in the video.
