Veteran Nollywood actor, Sylvester Madu, also known as Shina Rambo, has denied rumors claiming that he now sells okrika, which popularly refers to second-hand or thrifted clothing.
It would be recalled that a video of the movie star selling clothes on the floor of a popular market in Enugu State, sparked reactions with many claiming that he was selling okrika.
However, speaking in an interview with media personality, Patience Yisa, Sylvester clarified that, he imports brand-new clothes from the United States and has multiple shops managed by his workers.
The veteran actor also added that he has been in the clothing business for over 30 years.
He said, “First of all, I don’t sell okrika. Those clothes I was filmed selling are not necessarily okrika because they were on the floor. I don’t sell okrika. I import from the U.S.
“I have multiple shops and I have boys who sell for me. I don’t do big man, I go to the field to sell by myself. I have a lot of people selling for me. I have different shops. I monitor my business. I have been doing this business for over 30 years.”
