Nigerian cinema is in mourning following the passing of veteran Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor. The news of his death was confirmed by a family source on the evening of Sunday, March 24, 2024.

Muonagor was known for his comedic roles and had a long career in the Nigerian film industry. Sadly, his life was cut short after a prolonged battle with kidney disease.

This news comes just weeks after Muonagor publicly appealed to Nigerians for financial assistance to cover a scheduled kidney transplant in India. Despite his efforts, the battle against the illness proved too much.

The Nollywood community and fans alike are remembering Muonagor’s contributions to Nigerian cinema. His comedic timing and presence on screen will be dearly missed.
