New videos of Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku have surfaced on social media, showing him attending church and declaring his commitment to God, bringing relief to fans who were worried after earlier clips depicted him disoriented on the streets of Abuja.
Actor Attends Church Service
In a video shared by Brightgrillzz on July 12, 2026, Anuku was filmed in a public space revealing that he had attended a church service on Sunday. The actor, known for his iconic tough-guy and villain roles in early 2000s Nollywood films such as She Devil and Broad Daylight, hinted at his spiritual transformation.
“I love the church, and I am going to be working for God,” Anuku said in the video. Another clip showed what appeared to be a deliverance session in a church, while a third video captured the actor at a restaurant, thanking Brightgrillzz for his support.
Background of Controversy
The new videos come after Anuku sparked widespread worry when clips circulated online showing him in a disoriented state on the streets of Abuja. His manager, Moses Allen, addressed the concerns at the time, insisting there was no cause for alarm.
As of this report, Anuku’s representatives have not issued an official statement on the latest developments.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
While many fans celebrated the apparent positive turn, others urged caution, calling for professional medical and rehabilitation services rather than short-term aid. Social media reactions included:
- cjcalebs_studio: “You don’t know how happy you make me feel seeing you have a good moment like this Legend.”
