Less than a week has passed since a video of the 62-year-old actor laying still in bed and pleading for money to finance his kidney transplant went viral on the internet. Now, word of his passing has spread. Last November, Hon. Tony Muonagor, the actor's cousin, shared a photo of himself on social media with the unwell actor in a hospital bed. He wrote that he wanted the public to be aware of the circumstances surrounding his family.
He went on to explain how the Nollywood icon had been fighting diabetes, stroke, and kidney problems. He said that even though Muonagor had been enjoying his life and controlling his diabetes over the years, at the time of the post, he was going to weekly dialysis.
