The passing of a Nollywood actor Muna Obiekwe came as great shock both for Nigerians and the actor’s colleagues.
It would be recalled that the sad news broke out yesterday. It was however surrounded by controversy as some insisted that the information was fake.
The misunderstanding was connected with the tweet allegedly posted by the actor himself on a Twitter handle, @MunaObiekwe, that he was still hail and hearty. Soon the indications emerged that the mentioned Twitter account was fake.
The president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo Fiberesima, confirmed the news in a phone interview with Y!Naija saying:
“Yes, he is truly dead, i have spoken to his wife… He was a private person, he didn’t tell us he had problems so there was no way we could have helped….please i can’t disclose much information for now.”
“He could not go for his regular dialysis for the past two weeks because he was broke but rejected seeking public assistance due to shame.”
Famous Yoruba movie producer and actress, Dayo Amusa, criticized her colleagues over not helping Muna when he really needed it.
