Veteran Nollywood actress, Ngozi Ezeonu has debunked reports that she is dead. While reacting to the death rumours the actress in a video on her Instagram page, declared that she is "alive and healthy". According to the actress, her previous post in which she shared the photograph of a candle was a tribute to a friend she recently lost. She urged responsible journalism practices, advising against the spread of unverified and misleading stories. “I lost a very close friend of mine, I posted a candle, a half-burnt candle and they now put my picture on that candle and everybody is saying that I died.
“It is wrong. I am alive and healthy, please.
“In journalism, what you do when in doubt is you leave out. If you cannot get across to the person to at least confirm the story, you don’t post.
“Don’t do that, please. Don’t try it again. This is a new year, why would anybody want to hurt each other just because they want people to follow them?”
“The calls I have been receiving have been very worrisome. I don’t know why anybody should take my post.” She added
