RIP; Muna

He died at around 4:15pm in a hospital in Lagos. He was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed at his home.

Following the demise of Muna Obiekwe, the Actors Guild of Nigeria released the programme of activities to honour the late Nollywood actor.

In a statement released and signed by AGN’s President, Ibinabo Fiberesima, it was disclosed that the remains of the actor would be laid to rest on Tuesday, February 3, 2015.

The Nollywood actor will be buried at Umudioka, Anambra State, and several celebrities from the showbiz circle are expected to be at the event to pay their last respects to their departed colleague.
