Popular Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku,
who is known for playing criminal roles in Nigerian movies, has revealed he
tested positive for HIV.
The Nollywood actor also revealed
how he deliberately infected his wife with the deadly disease. Pulse reports that the
actor, now a born-again Christian, who is based in Ghana, talked in an
interview about how he went to Zambia for six months in April 2011
without his wife and two kids, to take part in plays teaching about HIV and
AIDS. While there he enjoyed life, sleeping with about 80 women
“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 life a fish and became an irresponsible husband leaving the
entire burden to my wife,” he said.
The veteran actor also revealed that
while knowing he could well be HIV positive, he infected his 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 Zimbabwe and
I kept quiet about the issue. I never told my wife about the issue. I infected
her but I regret. I later on received some counseling and it went well,” he
explained
“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 counseling 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.” he
