Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has recounted how the death of his partner affected him so much that it forced him to take a break from acting.
The Nollywood actor, who during what appeared to be a testimony session at Salvation at the Mountain of God International Ministry in Abuja, also described the death of the mother of his children as a “traumatic situation”, revealing that they had planned to get married before her sudden passing.
According to the veteran actor, his partner’s death left him emotionally shattered and unable to move on, explaining that he withdrew from people and isolated himself while struggling to cope with the grief.
He said he eventually found healing and comfort through his encounter with God, thanking Him for transforming his life.
“A lot of you know me, and I guess you’ve seen a lot of things online about me. But let me tell you something: that wasn’t me. God did it, and He started from here. They came looking for me. God sent strangers, angels, and messengers to look for those He wanted to use to propagate the gospel and win souls for His kingdom. I guess I got lucky. I got on the train, and that’s why I’m here,” he said.

“I want to thank God for choosing a wretched sinner like me to be in His presence and for making the tongues of the wicked cling to the roof of their mouths. I want you all to understand that no one is perfect.
“I’ve been through a lot of traumatic situations. First, I lost my baby mama. I wanted to marry her, but she went to the great beyond too soon. She was the mother of my children, my son and my daughter over there. I remember when I first met her. We were always together. Whenever I’m in a relationship with someone, I’m committed to just that person and no one else. That’s how I’ve always lived my life, whether in Nigeria or abroad.
“I never believed she would leave so soon, and it hurt me deeply, to my very bones and mind, knowing that I would go to bed without her and never get to cuddle her again.
“I probably crossed some boundaries, but I just wanted to be alone, like a hermit, away from the hustle and bustle and burdens of the world. I wanted to become someone I had never been before, but I was misled until I was struck by the Holy Spirit and brought into God’s presence for deliverance, healing, and divine comfort.”
He added that he felt a sense of relief and joy after the prayers, saying the experience lifted the emotional burden he had been carrying and restored his happiness.
“…It gives me joy knowing that my children are doing well, and I believe I’ll soon rise above all this, taking it one step at a time. Thank God for His mercy,” he added.
“Before the deliverance, I felt weighed down. I felt very heavy and uncomfortable. But after the prayers, I felt as light as a feather and as new as a baby. I feel so much joy now. There’s laughter and dancing in me again.”
In recent times, there have been concerns about the actor’s well-being after he was seen in a distressed state on two occasions. However, he dismissed the concerns in both instances.
