Another Nollywood actor, Chikezie Uwazie, has kicked the bucket after a failed brain surgery in the United States.
The sad news was made public by the deceased colleague, Obey Etok Chima, who took to her Facebook and Instagram pages to share the news of Mr Uwazie’s demise.
“I can’t imagine am posting this. Chikezie Uwazie goneeeee. After a 2nd brain surgery. Gini na emezi.
“Am so shocked to get this news this evening. I just got this from our IMSU alumni platform. I thought you told me you were going to the States for greener pastures.
“You promised to come back some years back, but I didn’t see you. I can’t believe you are gone, but God knows best. Rest on Chyko”, he posted.
Chikezie was a top leading actor in the Nollywood industry as far back as the 2000s.
He featured in several Nollywood movies including “musical whispers”, a film on Autism produced by Ebele Okaro and Bond Emeruwa.
He has acted alongside Emeka Ike, Ini Edo, Ejike Asiegbu, and Mercy Johnson Okojie.
His death is the third to rock the Nollywood industry in the space of three days. The industry is still mourning the death of veteran actor Saint Obi and Yoruba actor Murphy Afolabi.
