Nollywood actress Evans Okoro has called out her colleague, Ekene Umenwa, over an alleged claim that she is living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
The controversy arose after Evans’ name reportedly appeared on a list of Nollywood stars allegedly gossiped about by Ekene to a UK-based Nigerian nurse, Adanma Waller.
Reacting to the development in a video shared on her Instagram page, Evans expressed disbelief and demanded Ekene’s side of the story.
She said: “E get something wey I see for social media right now. My name dey for one list; dem talk say Evans Okoro carry one thing for body wey dey heavy people for mouth to talk.
“Ekene Umenwa, you add me for your list? Is that what you said, or the devil just wants to use una bring me down? I defended you ooo. I said let’s hear the Ekene side of the story, but seeing my name there as somebody wey dem talk say she carries HIV sickness for body…
“Ekene, if na weytin you talk, may God punish you and your whole generation including your father, your mother, your husband. But if no be weytin you talk, may God punish those people that fabricate this lie and their generation because my mother is crying right now,” Evans stated.
DAILY POST reports that this incident follows a separate controversy in which Destiny Etiko dragged Ekene for allegedly accusing her of beating her mother.
