Nollywood actress Hilda Dokubo is grieving the loss of her male colleague, Pa Zulu Adigwe.
Wakadaily reported yesterday that Pa Zulu Adigwe passed away on Tuesday evening, April 23rd, 2024.
Movie producer Stanley Nwoke, also known as Stanley Ontop, announced the news of his death on his Instagram page, stating that the cause of death is still unknown.
Hilda Dokubo took to her own Instagram page to express her sorrow, wishing Pa Zulu Adigwe to rest in peace. She acknowledged that another valuable contributor to the performing arts in Nollywood has been lost.
Dokubo also acknowledged the difficulty of losing loved ones and offered prayers for comfort to those who are mourning.
“Uncle Zulu, just like that Abi! Rest in peace. Nollywood another moving library of the performing arts just left us. This pain of losing loved ones is not easy. May all who mourn be comforted”.
His passing was added to the growing number of deaths in the Nigerian film industry, known as Nollywood. Over the past four months, Nollywood has mourned the loss of six individuals, including Sisi Quadri, Mr. Ibu, Amaechi Muonagor, Andy Best, Jumoke Aderounmu, and now, Junior Pope.
According to a report by wakadaily, Junior Pope tragically lost his life in a drowning accident while returning from a movie shoot with his colleagues on Anam River in Anambra State.
This news came just two weeks after the death of Jumoke Aderounmu, an aspiring actress who was part of Funke Akindele’s popular TV series, Jenifa’s Diary, and passed away at the age of 40.
On March 24th, veteran actor Amaechi Muonagor, who had been battling kidney disease for nearly a year, also passed away.
A week before he died, Ikechukwu Nnadi, a well-known Nollywood producer and marketer, passed away at a private clinic in Owerri, Imo State, after a long illness.
In February, Sisi Quadri, a Yoruba actor, died after being rushed to the hospital in his hometown of Iwo, Osun State. He had been experiencing persistent hiccups caused by kidney-related issues.
While Sisi Quadri was being buried, Mr Ibu, a veteran actor, also passed away at Evercare Hospital. He had been fighting for his life for months and died from a heart attack.
