“Depression caused me to start drinking” – Hanks Anuku speaks, addresses claims of being into drugs -VIDEO
  • Nollywood actor, Hanks Anuku finally addresses viral claims about him battling drug abuse.
  • In a video shared on his Instastory, the actor admitted that depression made him start drinking but he has never taken hard drugs.
  • He also notified the public about his project which lack of funds has hampered from being a reality.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Hanks Anuku has reacted to allegations of having sunk deep into drug addiction.

It’s no longer news that claims about Anuku doing drugs have been trending lately due to his recent looks; which most people consider disturbing.

However, in a video on his Instagram story, the movie star categorically stated that he doesn’t do drugs. He further admitted to having taken solace in the bottle after being struck by depression.

Anuku’s depression stems from the hardships he’s passing through. In the clip, he showed off a piece of land he acquired in Abuja for setting up his film school but funds have been his greatest challenge, causing the land to lie fallow for years.
