Veteran Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor reportedly passed away today, March 24, following a kidney-related illness, a stroke, and diabetes.
He had a stroke in 2023, which left his left leg partially paralysed.
He was receiving weekly dialysis and physiotherapy for his stroke-related paralysis, according to people close to him.
Only a few days had passed since he had begged for money on social media to pay for a kidney transplant.
The actor appeared in scores of Nigerian movies. He was famous for his role in Aki and Paw Paw, where he played the father of two mischief-making young boys.
He is survived by his wife, Hope Chikodi Muonagor, and their children.
His fans have gone on X to mourn him.
Recall that a video of Ameachi struggling on the sickbed recently went viral.
He was seen stumbling to speak while lying on his sick bed. The performer, whose voice was barely discernible in the video, began by greeting before continuing in a weak-voice.
He was said to be dealing with Kidney problems; however, it appears that things have become worse since then.
