Nollywood actress Cynthia Okereke is dead
Veteran Nollywood actress Cynthia Okereke is dead.
Filmmaker J.C. Okechukwu took to Twitter to break the dreadful news a few hours ago.
He posted a picture of the 63-year-old actress and captioned it; “rest in peace, Nwanyi oma. I’m shattered beyond words.”
According to the filmmaker, Ms Okereke died in her sleep last night.
“The fact that I was about to pay for your flight ticket to come finish what we started only to here you went to be with Lord just last night is one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to deal with in recent times. I pray I’m able to recover from this shock. Life is really just a mist. One minute you have it, the next you don’t,” he added.
