Zack Orji: Nigerian hospital speaks on actor’s treatment

The National Hospital Abuja has denied referring popular actor, Zack Orji, to a private hospital for brain surgery.

The development is in reaction to reports insinuating that the 64-year-old actor who reportedly slumped on New Year’s eve was admitted to the facility’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) but was later transferred to a private hospital for surgery.

The hospital, in a statement Thursday and signed by its spokesperson, Tayo Haastrup, explained that the actor was stabilised at the facility before he was taken away by his relatives while they were preparing for his surgery.
