He passed away on the morning of February 17 at the age of 63. News of his death spread across the film industry, leaving colleagues and fans in mourning.

Eriabie became popular in the 1990s and early 2000s for his strong presence in Nigerian films. He gained wide attention through the movie series Izozo, a production that told the story of women trafficking and the struggles faced by victims. The film series was well-received at the time and brought him into the spotlight.

His body has been moved from Lagos to his hometown, Aghalope, in Delta State. Family members are expected to announce burial plans in the coming days.

The late actor was a graduate of the University of Port Harcourt. Over the years, he built a career that went beyond acting. He worked as a film producer, television host, and radio presenter.

He was also involved in media production and communications, serving as the chief executive officer of a media company and working as a playwright.

In recent years, he featured in films such as Love in a Pandemic and Unforgivable, both released in 2023. Despite being less active than in his early career days, he remained part of the entertainment space.

Throughout his time in Nollywood, Eriabie participated in numerous film and media projects. His early work, especially Izozo, drew public attention to social problems affecting women and young girls.

As of now, his family has not made public the cause of his death. Further details about his funeral arrangements are expected to be made known soon.
