In the video, Anuku held a flag with the inscription “Hunger dey ooo” (meaning “there is hunger”), highlighting the pressing issue of food insecurity and its effects on Nigerians.
She responded;
At least he said it!”.
The Nollywood actor, has been the subject of public concern over his mental health and well-being.
In 2022, a video surfaced showing him appearing disheveled and unstable, leading to speculation about his mental state and potential drug use.
While some colleagues confirmed his struggles, others like Shan George denied the claims. Hanks Anuku initially denied the reports, attributing the videos to movie scenes.
However, in a recent Instagram post, he admitted to struggling, revealing he had been unemployed for years and desperately needed financial support.
This admission came after another viral video showed him acting erratically at a petrol station, prompting renewed concern for his well-being.
