Nigerians have expressed shock on social media after controversial Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu was spotted lying motionless in a hotel in Lagos.

A trending social media video captured him lying on the ground unconsciously.

The hotel staff, who made the video, had raised the alarm over his condition, stating that the incident resulted from an alleged drug overdose.

The video attracted mixed reactions from netizens. While many insisted it was a prank, others condemned drug abuse.

bimby2006: “But wait. This is worrisome. Why are the hotel staff running commentary on a supposedly lifeless lodger? Shouldn’t they be concerned and look for a way to rescue him rather than making videos and talking without any show of concern?”

Diniwe79: “Sad is it now that he hasn’t posted anything today? RIP, you really entertain me on your Instagram.”

Fuhmee: “I don’t believe any news with this guy.”

jisosness: “U see why too much talk talk, confused directions, and cursing is causing now because most people, including me, are not believing the video, because there's nothing this man and semi-woman have not said and done for clout.”

sofiaxxtra: “Wow! No wonder he looks extra slim and caps nonsense sometimes.”

rafaello_d1: “Person nor fit differentiate pranks from real-life situations again. It is well.”
