Tragedy has again struck Nollywood as
the movie industry lost one of its
actors, just as Nigerians are yet to
come to terms with the death of
Goldie.
Popular Abuja based actor, director
and producer, Collins Ifeanyi Chukwu is
dead.
He died yesterday at the Maitama General
Hospital after a brief illness.
The news, which was confirmed
yesterday by the chairman of the Abuja
chapter of the Actors guild of Nigeria,
AGN, Ifeanyi (Agility) Onourah, has
thrown the Abuja chapter into
mourning. The usually boisterous Access
Garden, which is the official location of
the guild’s activities, was full of tears and
wailing yesterday.
Chukwu and his wife Blessing dedicated
their son, Doxa Efechukwu Collinns, on
Sunday, July 22, 2012 at the Christ
Chosen Church of God, Gwarimpa, Abuja,
after which his parents treated
entertainment practitioners to a lavish
ceremony at their Jikwoyi residence.
Reacting to his death, Frank White,
chairman of the Producers Guild of
Nigeria, Abuja Chapter said, “It is quite
unfortunate that the young lady has
been widowed at this early age with
such a little boy. This is a big loss, not
only to the family, but to the
entertainment industry in Abuja.”
The late Collins is well known for
producing gospel movies. He produced
‘The Burning Flames, el-Gibor, Back to
Bethel, and was before his death,
working on another blockbuster.
Until his death, he was the PRO elect of
the Actors guild of Nigeria, AGN, Abuja
chapter.
He is survived by his wife and kid.
