After a lengthy period of illness, Veteran Nollywood actor, Amaechi Muonagor, has died.
The news was disclosed by Morris Monye, a social commentator and critic via his X handle, on Sunday.
The news of his death comes just days after a video where he solicited funds to help him have a Kidney transplant surfaced on the internet.
“Deeply heartbroken by the news of Amaechi Muonagor’s passing,” Monye wrote.
“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.”
Muonagor, a native of Idemili, in Anambra, was born Aug. 20, 1962. He started working for the News Agency of Nigeria after his NYSC in 1989.
However, he left his job a few years later for an acting role in his first movie as Akunatakasi in Taboo 1, a Nigerian movie.
