Nollywood Actor Amaechi Muonagor is dead
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.
“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 inquiry on the development.
Recall 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.
