Nollywood actress Evan Okoro has taken the extraordinary step of undergoing a live medical test on social media to silence rumors regarding her health. The move comes after allegations surfaced—reportedly traced back to colleague Ekene Umenwa—claiming that Okoro was battling a serious illness.
The Live Verification
Determined to end the speculation, Evan Okoro went live on social media on Friday, February 20, 2026, to conduct an HIV test in full view of her audience. The atmosphere was described by viewers as “tense” as the actress walked through the real-time testing process to ensure there was no room for claims of manipulation.
When the device finally displayed the result, it was Negative.
Emotional Outburst and Call-out
Overcome with a mix of relief and anger following the result, Evan Okoro broke down in tears, directly addressing Ekene Umenwa.
“Ekene Umenwa, what have I done to you?” she shouted during the stream. Her emotional outcry suggested a deep sense of betrayal, as she questioned why such a sensitive and damaging rumor would be circulated about her health status.
Context: Growing Controversy Around Ekene Umenwa
This incident adds to a mounting series of allegations against Ekene Umenwa (frequently referred to by critics as “Madam Jesus second mother”). This latest clash follows a similar public call-out by Alexer Peres, who accused Umenwa of sabotaging her relationship with Destiny Etiko through lies and professional jealousy.
The pattern of “character assassination” allegations has sparked a heated debate within Nollywood:
- The Supporters: Many fans have praised Evan Okoro for her bravery in confronting the stigma of health-related rumors head-on.
- The Critics: Industry observers have expressed concern over the “toxic” nature of these public feuds, noting that the weaponization of health status marks a dangerous escalation in celebrity disputes.
Current Status
As the video of the live test continues to go viral, supporters have rallied behind Evan Okoro, using the hashtag #JusticeForEvan to demand accountability. As of Saturday morning, Ekene Umenwa has not responded to the specific allegations regarding the source of the rumors or Evan Okoro’s emotional live address.
