This happened after Sunny, the actor Emma Buchi’s personal helper, brutally killed the rising Nollywood star in Asaba, the capital of the Delta State.
On Tuesday, July 12, his friend Melody Obia posted on Facebook that he had passed away.
Melody claims that the actor’s decomposing body was discovered in his residence recently, and it is claimed that his personal assistant killed him and took all of his possessions.
She posted images of the accused murderer of the actor and urged anyone with knowledge on his whereabouts to get in touch with her, the victim’s family, or the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
