Veteran Nollywood actress, Cynthia Okereke has died.
Her death was announced by her colleague, Joseph Okechukwu, in a post on his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday.
Okechukwu wrote, โREST IN PEACE, Nwanyi oma. Iโm shattered beyond words. The fact that I was about to pay for your flight ticket to come to finish what we started only to hear you went to be with Lord just last night is one of the toughest things Iโve ever had to deal with in recent times.
โI pray Iโm able to recover from this shock. Life is really just a mist. One minute you have it, the next you donโt. For the more than 20 years that Iโve known you, youโve been such an amazing, decent, and lovely soul to be around.
โI never imagined youโd exit so unceremoniously. Words fail me. Sleep on, Cynthia. May your gentle soul rest on till we meet again in glory.โ
Recall that Okereke was kidnapped in Enugu alongside fellow actor Clemson Cornel, but they were later released unhurt by their abductors days after they were declared missing.
