Veteran Nollywood actor Dele Odule has reacted to the viral rumours of his death, firmly refuting the claims and addressing additional allegations of child molestation.

Recall that reports of the actor’s death circulated widely some days ago, sparking concern among fans and colleagues.

Taking to his Instagram page to share a video addressing the rumours, Dele Odule dismissed the claims of his death, stating that he is alive and well. He expressed his dismay at why anyone would wish him dead, describing the situation as unnecessary and unfair.

He said:
"There is nothing wrong with me, I’m very much alive. I don’t know why someone would wish me dead.

“This is uncalled for, barbaric, and not fair.”

Additionally, the actor addressed separate rumours alleging his arrest over child molestation. He labelled the claims as false and a malicious attempt to tarnish his reputation.

He added:
"What for? Don’t try to bring me down. If you come at me, you are coming at God because you’re not fighting me but God.”
