The Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood has recorded the death of an icon in the person of comic actor, Amaechi Muonagor.
Reports coming in from several news platforms confirms the actor’s death.
The unfortunate incident comes just days after the well-known actor appealed to the public for financial assistance for a kidney transplant.
In the video which hit social media like wildfire, the actor could be seen in bed with a bandage on his chest, barely able to talk.
Speaking in Igbo language, he said: “Igbo people, I greet you all.”
However, another actor, Kingsley Orji took over and explained that the veteran performer is suffering from kidney-related issues.
“It has not been easy. He has been in this condition for months now. He wants to go for a kidney transplant,” Orji says.
“He just came back from the ICU… a couple of days ago. He was responding to treatment but not very well.
“We decided to bring him home because there was no money but it is not advisable. He barely talks well. Please, he needs your help,” he added.
Muonagor would be remembered for the many movies he produced including Aki and Paw Paw, where he played the role of the father of two mischief-making teenagers.
His death comes just after the demise of another comic actor, John Okafor, popular as Mr Ibu.
