In the footage, onlookers were seen discussing his condition, with one woman calling for urgent intervention and urging the public to assist. Responding in a follow-up video, Anuku dismissed concerns surrounding the clip and said public attention should be directed towards more pressing national issues. “You all need to face the government and leave me alone.

This is not the first time the actor has been at the centre of public concern. In 2022, similar footage surfaced showing him in tattered clothing roaming the streets, triggering widespread reactions.
