Nollywood Actor Chikezie Uwazie dies in US

Chikezie Uwazie, another Nollywood actor, died in the United States.

This comes just 48 hours after the deaths of two prominent Nollywood actors, Saint Obi and Murphy Afolabi, grabbed headlines.

The actor, who moved to the United States seven years ago, was a top actor in Nigeria's film business in the 2000s. Obey Etok Chima, a colleague who confirmed Uwazie's death, said he died following a second brain surgery.

She wrote, "I can't believe I'm posting this. 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. 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. Can’t believe you are gone but God knows best. Rest on Chyko".
