Veteran Nollywood actress Hilda Dokubo has addressed online rumours of her death, assuring her fans that she is alive and well. The actress used an Instagram live session on Friday to dispel the misinformation that had been circulating on the internet, causing concern among her followers.
Dokubo, known for her outspoken views on politics and governance, stated that this was not the first instance of blogs falsely reporting her death. She emphasized her continued commitment to speaking truth on these matters.
“Everybody, this is me, healthy and strong. I’m not dead. I’m not dying now. I’m not afraid,” Dokubo said during the live session. “Do you know how many times blogs have written that I d!ed? Every second, every minute, they’re killing one actor or the other. So, it’s not a big deal.”
The actress also expressed concern for her family, noting that people had visited her elderly mother due to the false reports. Dokubo further reiterated her independence and integrity, referencing her stance on political issues in Rivers State.
“If you know anything about me, I am fearless. Whatever I want to do, I will do. And I will say exactly how I want to say it. I was properly raised by very good parents. Money is the least of my cares. Everybody, including (Sim) Fubara (suspended Rivers State governor), knows that I am not ‘bribable’. If I were, I wouldn’t be where I am. I wouldn’t be on the side of truth.”
