‘I am not dead, still healthy’ – Actress Hilda Dokubo debunks death rumors

Veteran Nigerian actress Hilda Dokubo has debunked circulating rumors about her alleged demise, reassuring the public that she is alive and in good health.  

In an Instagram live session, the Nollywood star addressed the false reports, expressing frustration over the frequent recurrence of such claims.

She emphasized that this is not the first time false news of her death has made the rounds, yet she remains undeterred.

Dokubo also reaffirmed her dedication to speaking out on political and governance matters, making it clear that such misleading rumors will not silence her voice.

Reports suggest the rumors originated on Facebook, where claims surfaced that Dokubo was allegedly organizing a rally alongside suspended Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara to pressure President Bola Tinubu and Minister Nyesom Wike.

Dismissing the speculation as baseless, she urged the public to verify information before spreading it.

Supporters have since flooded social media with messages of relief and solidarity, standing by Dokubo as she continues her advocacy efforts.

The misleading claims allegedly originated from Facebook, suggesting that Dokubo was organizing a rally alongside suspended Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara to put pressure on President Bola Tinubu and Minister Nyesom Wike. The actress, however, dismissed these rumors as baseless and expressed discontent with how some blogs frequently circulate fake news about her death.

She said: “Everybody, this is me, healthy and strong. I’m not dead. I’m not dying now. I’m not afraid. 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.

“But a lot of people have been worried. I also worry for my friends. People had even gone to visit my mum who is almost 80 years old.

“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.”

Dokubo maintained that she’s fearless, properly raised, and not bribable.

She vowed to continue advocating for good governance and truth, ignoring those who spread false information.

She added: “I have no business organizing a rally or whatever you called it to push a man. If you had any sense in your chicken head, you would have known that I love to dance. Every time I attend an event in my community, I dance. If you can’t find me dancing, you can only find me climbing up a stage to make a speech.

“I would never wish him dead. I am not a proponent of politics with bitterness.

“I am not a coward and can never be one. No matter what they do, I will not change my position. I will try my best to ignore ignoramuses. But I want you to take this as a fact: I, Hilda, will never, ever wish death on anyone. Not even at my lowest.”
