Rest in Peace: Actor Muna Obiekwe Dies from Kidney Failure!

Shocking reports reaching us confirmed that Nollywood Actor Muna Obiekwe passed away this afternoon in a Lagos Hospital after a kidney failure incident. It was reported that he collapsed at his home and was later rushed to the hospital today, where he then passed away.

Although, there were a lot of conflicting reports earlier in the day regarding the authenticity of the death report, but President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo Fiberesima and Segun Arinze have reportedly confirmed the accuracy of the sad news to some media houses.

Other colleagues of Muna that confirmed this sad news include Uche Jombo, Stella Damasus and Mike Ezunroye and the messages they posted on Instagram are provided below:

“It’s not the length of life but the depth of life” RIP muna! Update:it’s sad that someone will try to make this sad day more difficult by tweeting through a fake account.

Stella Damasus:

Just confirmed it from some close friends and relatives that he is really dead. The message from twitter that he was still alive was from a fake account. So this is my pain, how do you know what to believe and what not to believe? Where do we draw the line? Over nine thousand people on twitter have believed that he is still alive because of the fake twitter account. REST IN PEACE BRO! I was really hoping that it was a rumor. God rest your soul. This is too painful. Whoever put that message out not the fake twitter account should be careful. Don’t play games with people’s lives like that.
