Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has confessed to being HIV positive. More
worrisome is that Anuku deliberately infected his wife and mother of
two, after becoming aware of his status. According to Anuku in an
interview, he became careless, frivolous and promiscuous due to the fame
he experienced as an actor. The actor claimed he contracted the deadly
disease in Zambia. Anuku confessed to have slept with several women
across the various African countries he visited. He claimed to have
discovered he was carrying the disease when he impregnated his Zambian
girlfriend, who underwent a medical test and subsequently compelled him
to do same.
Here is what Anuku said:
“Life in Zambia was heaven on earth because we could enjoy life,
moving in all places but I was missing my family. During that time I had
quite a number of sexual activities and I slept with different women.
When I came back home I never took care of the family. I started
drinking like a fish and became an irresponsible husband leaving the
entire burden to my wife.
“I got tested while I was in Zambia after one of my girlfriends
advised me about her pregnancy. She had gone for pregnancy tests and
during that time she was tested for HIV and the results was shocking,
she was positive. She forced me to get tested but I could not come to
terms with the results. After I got tested I came back to Zambia and I
kept quiet
about the issue. I never told my wife about the issue. I infected her
but I regret it. I later on received some counselling and it well well,”
he said.
“During my peak
of popularity I had sex with approximately 80 women, within Harare and
Zambia. In 2002 it was so amazing to be on TV. I abused the fame. To
make matters worse I lacked counselling and I failed to handle it
properly, leaving me in this mud. I am now a born again Christian with
UFIC under the guidance of Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa”
