Nollywood actor Muna Obiekwe is dead

Talented Nollywood actor, Muna Obiekwe is dead. The
actor, whose demise hit the movie industry like a shock
wave yesterday, was said to have died of kidney failure
in an undisclosed hospital in Lagos.
According to a source close to the actor, Muna has been
battling renal related ailment but has kept it secret for a
long time before informing the president of the Actors
Guild of Nigeria, Ibinabo Fiberesima who has since been
in touch with him. The source further stated that that
actor's drinking habit may not be unconnected to his
death.
Until his death, the Enugu based actor was one of the
controversial actors in the Nigerian movie industry
dubbed Nollywood. Muna, who has a knack for acting
romantic scenes, once came under attack for grabbing
fellow actor, Biola Ige's breast, in the movie, Pregnant
Hawker. However, the actress later denied the story,
claiming that the picture which went viral was doctored
and that there was no such scene in the movie.
Muna on his own part was quoted to have said, "…I
don't remember the movie. I also don't remember
sucking Biola's breasts. If the movie exists, that scene
never took place.
"Like I told you, I don't recall the movie. I do a lot of
movies and I can't remember what happens in all of
them. The fact that I don't recall means that the movie
was shot a long time ago. Probably three or more years
back. When love scene was in vogue with producers. I'm
still searching for the movie to acquaint myself with the
story.
"There has never been anything between myself and any
actress that I've made a movie with. My romantic
relationships have always been outside the movie
industry. I don't take my work home".
