AGN Goes Spiritual Over Death Of Nollywood Actors

Following the recent tragic deaths in the Nollywood industry, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has announced a four-day prayer and fasting in a bid this avert further reoccurrence.

The Guild’s National President, Emeka Rollas made the announcement in a post shared via his Instagram page on Monday, April 22.

According to him, the four days of fasting and prayers are due to the tragic loss of Nollywood actors from late last year 2023, to early this year, to the tragic boat mishap which happened a few weeks ago, that took the lives of Jnr Pope and four other promising young actors.

It would be recalled that the Nollywood industry also recently lost popular actors, such as John Okafor, also known as Mr Ibu and Amaeachi Muonagor over an undisclosed illness.

According to Rollas, the founder of Streams of Joy International Church, Pastor Jerry Eze, will lead the spiritual exercise, adding that prayer is essential to avert further losses in the Nollywood and urging all lovers of the industry to join the programme.
