Dele Odule Debunks Death and Arrest Rumors, Assures Fans He Is Alive

Veteran Nollywood actor Dele Odule has spoken out against false reports circulating on social media, dismissing claims about his alleged death and arrest. The respected actor took to Instagram to set the record straight, assuring fans that he is alive and healthy.

In a video message, Odule expressed frustration over the rumors, particularly targeting a blogger who posted his picture with a misleading caption suggesting he had passed away. “There’s nothing wrong with me, I am very much alive. I don’t understand why someone would wish me dead. This is barbaric, uncalled for, and not fair,” he stated.

The actor also addressed another damaging claim that falsely alleged he had been arrested for child molestation. A widely circulated image showed him in handcuffs, which he dismissed as entirely fabricated. Questioning the intent behind such rumors, he said, “For what? What is your problem? Are you alright? Don’t try to bring me down. If you come at me, you’re coming at God because you are not fighting me but God.”

Despite the upsetting nature of these rumors, Odule took a moment to appreciate his fans for their concern and unwavering support. He reassured them that he remained strong and unaffected by the false stories. “I love you to bits. Thank you for being there always and for your concern about my well-being. I appreciate it. God bless you,” he said.

The veteran actor, known for contributing to the Nigerian film industry, has been a beloved figure for decades. His latest response serves as a reminder of the growing issue of misinformation on social media, as celebrities continue to face baseless rumors and false reports.
