Popular Nigerian actor Hanks Anuku has denied reports that he is HIV/AIDS positive and is deliberately infecting other ladies with the disease.

Speaking with Nana Aba Anamoah on TV3 Tuesday, the Nigeria hardman expressed surprise at the story adding that the false publication had cast him and his family in a very bad light.

He also dismissed reports that he had slept with over 80 women in Zambia and other parts of the world and had deliberately passed the deadly disease to his beloved wife.

Anuku wondered why anyone would sit down to cook up such a terrible story when he has not offended anyone.
