Real Cause Of Amaechi Muonagor’s Death Revealed—-Nollywood popular Actor, Amaechi Muonagor is dead.
He died at home on Sunday, March 24, 2024. But for lack of funds, perhaps, the story could have been different. He was forced to leave the hospital, a Government-owned Teaching Hospital, where he had been undergoing dialysis, for lack of funds to continue his treatment.
Last week, a video of him made the rounds when another Actor, Kingsley Orji, posted it to solicit for funds to help the now dead Actor to be flown to India for a kidney transplant. He did not say if a matching kidney was ready for him.
Orji who spoke on his Instagram account disclosed that the deceased left the hospital due to financial constraints.
Speaking in both Igbo and English Orji said: “It has not been easy. He has been in this condition for months now. He wants to go for a kidney transplant. What we want is for you to help us for him to travel to India.
“He just came back from the ICU in Nnewi Teaching Hospital a couple of days ago. He was responding to treatment but not very well.
“We decided to bring him home because there was no money, but it is not advisable. He barely talks well. Please, he needs your help.”
Muonagor’s passing came less than three weeks after the demise of another thespian, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
Muonagor was born in Obosi, a village in Idemili North, Anambra State. He attended St. Mary’s Primary School, Obosi, Oraifite Grammar School before he furthered his education at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN,where he studied economics and graduated in 1987.
In 1989 after his Youth Service, he started working for NAN (News Agency of Nigeria). He left his job a few years later for an acting role in his first movie as Akunatakasi in Taboo 1, a Nigerian movie.
He was aged 61 years.
