Nollywood Actor Ernest Asuzu has come out to defend his actions after he made headlines a few days ago after he was spotted in public begging for alms and allegedly suffering from stroke.
According to the actor, he had to go shirtless on the street not because he was mentally derailed, but because he needed help for his medical condition.
