Hanks Anuku's Distressing Video Sparks Mental Health Concerns

Hanks Anuku, a 64-year-old veteran Nollywood actor, was captured in a viral video roaming the streets of Abuja, which has sparked concern among fans regarding his mental health. The footage shows Anuku appearing distressed and holding a disposable cup, leading to speculation about possible influences such as alcohol, although this remains unconfirmed.

Eyewitnesses have called for support for the actor, urging the Nigerian Actor Guild to provide necessary medical and financial assistance. This incident follows a similar occurrence in November 2022 when a video of Anuku wandering the streets prompted widespread speculation about his mental health.

While the latest video has raised alarms about his current state, some fans have noted that he appeared healthier in footage recorded recently in Asaba, Delta State. Anuku is known for playing archetypal "bad boy" roles in movies, and his situation sheds light on the challenges faced by movie stars, including battles with depression and financial crises.
