Veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji has opened up on his brain surgery as he revealed that he once lost his ability to remember people before going under the knife.

Speaking during an interview with Channels TV, Orji stated that he spent five and a half hours unconscious before help came after he slumped in his bathroom.

Following this, he had undergone two brain surgeries which has since restored his health.

He said:

“I can only say that it’s by the grace of God that I’m alive today because I passed out. I was out for like five and a half hours before help came.”

“Before the surgery, I couldn’t recognise people. Some of the people who came to the hospital to see me, I didn’t even know that they came and we were talking but I couldn’t remember them. I was my wife who told me those who came.

“But immediately after the surgery, the first question I asked was, ‘What day are we today?’ My wife said new year day and I started wishing everybody happy new year. She said that was when she knew that I am back.”
