A couple of days ago, Nigerian veteran actress Rita Dominic trended for having reportedly given birth to twin girls. Nollywood Times broke the news and shared some Instagram posts about the rumour. As of the time of breaking the news, neither Rita nor her husband confirmed the news.

However, the news has been confirmed to be a mere rumour by Mildred Okwo, a business partner and friend of the actress. Okwo, a Nigerian film director and producer, quickly debunked the news and advised Nigerians and fans of the actress to ignore the rumour.

In a chat with newsmen, Okwo said: “You see somebody on set today, and the next day they have twins; I do not understand. If Rita has had a child, would I not send a press release to you guys? Common, it does not make sense. Can you imagine? She took a picture while on a movie set. She posted a picture; she is on a movie set; maybe I should call her to find out if she has given birth.

“It is bloggers that are peddling fake news. Kindly ignore them. If she has a child, there is no way that I would not make the announcement, and I will definitely not talk to bloggers.”
