Popular social media influencer and chairman of Delta State Sports Association, Morris Monye, said famous Nigerian actor Amaechi Muonagor is dead.
Monye disclosed this on Sunday through his official X handle.
According to him, he was deeply heartbroken by the actor’s death.
“Deeply heartbroken by the news of Amaechi Muonagor’s passing. He was a talented Nollywood actor whose presence on our screens was truly masterful.
“We watched with concern as he battled health issues, offering whatever support we could to help him seek treatment in India.
“This tragic loss highlights the need for better healthcare in our country,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, the Actor Guild of Nigeria, AGN, has yet to respond to NUT inquiry on the development.
NUT recalls that barely a week ago, the 61-year-old Nollywood actor, in a distressing video, begged Nigerians for financial help for his kidney transplant.
On November 27, 2023, the actor’s relative, Tony ‘Oneweek’ Muonagor, confirmed that he was down with kidney disease.
During his career, Muonagor has appeared in dozens of films, including Aki and Paw Paw, one of his most famous roles, where he played the father of two mischief-making, exuberant teenagers.
Muonagor’s death followed that of Mr Ibu (John Okafor), who died on March 2, 2024.
