Veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has opened up about how the death of his children’s mother left him emotionally devastated. He recently had his say while sharing a testimony at a church, and fans have been reacting.
Revealing that they had plans to marry before her untimely death, Hanks lamented that losing his babymama remains one of the most painful moments of his life.
Anuku added that the tragedy forced him to withdraw from people and isolate himself as he struggled with overwhelming grief.
His words, “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.
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.
It gives me joy to know that my children are doing well, and I believe I’ll soon rise above all this, step by step. Thank God for His mercy.”
