A new video of Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has sparked fresh concerns about his well-being after he was spotted in the Wuse area of Abuja. The footage, shared by X user @General_Somto on July 6, 2026, shows the veteran actor seated outdoors near a street-side spot, dressed in a striking red outfit with jewelry, including chains and watches. However, his gestures and manner of conversing with people in the background have left many worried.
Manager's Recent Reassurances Questioned
The video comes just days after Anuku's manager, Moses Allen, addressed a previous viral clip of the actor on the roadside. Allen insisted there was no cause for alarm, explaining that many people misunderstand Anuku due to his unique personality and artistic lifestyle. According to Allen, the actor often immerses himself in imaginative situations that can be easily misinterpreted by onlookers.
Public Reaction: Sympathy and Calls for Help
The latest video has reignited conversations online. While some netizens defended Anuku's right to privacy, others called for meaningful assistance rather than just sharing videos. User moneyovergossip commented, "His worst mistake is relocating from Asaba to Abuja." Eured4 said, "That's why I keep saying acting is sometimes not make-belief. Sometimes actors play their character in reality." kelecas70 wrote, "Honestly, it's enough. Stop recording him. Stop posting him. We're all aware of his situation, whoever wants to help will reach out to him. It's not funny anymore." andrearudison argued, "He is not insane. All the information circulated about him is false. Despite having family and friends, none have indicated that he is mentally unstable." BELLApki pleaded, "Can Davido please help me take this guy alone? He has been my favorite actor since I was a child. I know for sure he needs help in some ways. I can read it on his face. Please, I cry whenever I see him this way." heisenejii said, "Make una leave this man to rest na. What's the deal with always shoving a camera in his face whenever you see him?" swaagsphotos remarked, "This is how we kept sighting Majek Fasek until the guy kpuff!"
