The story on the death of two Nollywood actors
has been debunked by one of the assumed victims, Ejiro Okurame. The text message sent to the handset of TNS
reporter inter alia and originates from a certain Goldmyne TV. Blogspot states, “Two Nollywood stars
Uchenna Amuta loses and Ejiro Okurame died in one day.”
But a click on the link of the story online
reveals the writer had misrepresented late Lizzy Ogbodo for Ejiro as both have
slight resemblance and were close friends before the demise of the Nollywood
costumier.
.
Lizzy had died last Saturday at the Niger
Foundation Hospital, Enugu due to health complications. The death of Lizzy occurred
at the same day ace actor, Uchenna a.k.a Natty of the old Masquerade TV soap
was admitted at the same medical facility.
It would be recalled that Lizzy`s death has
gotten more comical than she would have wanted could the dead speak. Firstly,
her death sparked the rumour of the death of Natty and thereafter, that of
Ejiro.
Meanwhile both rumours have been swept aside
by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and Ejiro.
While the AGN through its National Secretary, Abuking says Natty is
still alive, Ejiro told TNS, “I`m alive. No
mind dem (rumour mongers) jare.”
