NOLLYWOOD actor Uche Maduagwu has once again made a dramatic U-turn about his sexuality.
On April 19, he shocked his fans when he announced that he lied about himself being a gay
He wrote: “Dear fans I am not gay. I lost movie roles endorsement and my girlfriend fighting for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) in Nigeria.
“Omg! Even my girlfriend left me despite knowing I was fighting for LGBT right in Naija but I no regret using my celebrity status to fight for this beautiful community,” he said.
The actor on January posted on his Instagram handle that he was “proudly gay” and this generated a lot of condemnation by his fans.
However, in a new development, the actor has come out once again to say he was tortured and coerced by security men to denounce his guy status.
The controversial actor made this disclosure as usual on his Instagram page.
According to the actor, he said: “Last month I was arrested along Lekki axis by armed security men I won’t disclose the particular agency but they came from #Abuja I was beaten for hours and told to deny being #gay on social media or they will come back to do worse I can’t say more for now because of security reasons #lagos #share.”
Uche went further to state in another post that the fundamental right of the LGBT is not being respected noting that he is a Nigerian before being a celebrity.
He said: “A President that cannot protect LGBT should go I am a Nigerian before being a celebrity respect my fundamental human right or resign #naija belong to everyone, not just kunu drinking Fulani herdsmen #gay #share.”
Many have taken to his comment section to react to his claim. A vast majority have termed him as confused, urging him to get a life and stop constituting a nuisance on social media.
While others have practically abused him adding he is sick and urgently needs medical attention. The Nation.
