Veteran Nollywood star links church prayers to a fresh start after viral concern
Veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku thanked God after a church deliverance at Salvation At The Mountain of God International Ministry. He said he felt heavy before prayer, then lighter and happier after it. The testimony followed viral street videos and public concern in July 2026.
Anuku’s latest testimony has shifted the public mood around him. He gave the testimony in church after weeks of online worry about his well-being. The moment also came after fresh clips showed him back in a place of worship.
On Sunday, July 12, 2026, he was filmed on his way to church and said he would work for God. A deliverance clip later spread online on July 16, 2026. The new testimony then went live as the story kept moving across social media.
How the church moment unfolded
The new video matters because concern had grown after a viral Abuja street clip. His manager, Moses Allen, had earlier said there was no cause for alarm. ValidUpdates also reported that Anuku was 64 and remains known for roles in films like She Devil and Broad Daylight.
“I came here feeling heavy, but now I feel lighter and happier,” Anuku said.
He also tied his testimony to the support he got from people around him. Anuku said God used others to reach him and guide him through the moment. His message put faith, help and healing at the centre of the story.
Why the story drew wide attention
The attention began after street videos showed the actor in public and sparked concern online. Later clips showed him back in church, and fans quickly linked the change to prayer and support. The story then moved from worry to gratitude.
His name has stayed in the news for that reason. Earlier reports said he told fans not to spread false stories about him. The latest church clip now gives that debate a new turn.
What comes next
Anuku’s testimony may calm some fears, but it also keeps focus on how stars age in public. For now, the actor says faith and prayer helped lift the weight he felt. That is the message fans are now sharing most.
