Another veteran actor, Prince Ifeanyi Dike, has died in Lagos after taking ill for about two weeks.
He was chairman Board of Trustees Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
The National Secretary of the AGN, Abubakar Yakubu, confirmed Dike’s death, describing it as “devastating”.
“You can imagine how these things happen! Today, we buried Rachel Oniga. Victor died too. Just as we’re trying to get over that, Ifeanyi Dike followed. It’s a very devastating moment for all of us. We’ve been crying since.
“We’re in a very bad mood. He’s our BoT chairman and an entirely good colleague of ours. It’s sad, really. It’s sad,” Yakubu said.
Dike suffered kidney ailment about 11 years ago, for which he travelled to India and had a successful surgery.
