The Nigerian film industry has been plunged into sadness once again with the unfortunate demise of esteemed Nollywood actor, Zulu Adigwe.
The news of his passing emerged through various social media platforms on Tuesday, leaving fans and colleagues in mourning.
The announcement of Adigwe’s death was made by renowned movie producer Stanley Nwoko, who took to his Instagram page to express his grief. In a heartfelt post, Nwoko bid farewell to the talented actor, saying, “Rest in peace, dear actor.”
Tragically, Adigwe’s passing follows the recent loss of Junior Pope and three other notable Nollywood actors in a devastating boat accident on the Anam River. The ill-fated incident occurred while the actors were en route to a filming location.
Adigwe was widely revered for his remarkable portrayals of paternal figures in Nollywood productions. One of his most memorable roles was that of Mr. B in the beloved sitcom “Basi and Company.” Additionally, he made a significant appearance in the highly successful 2019 film “Living in Bondage: Breaking Free.”
Although originally from Enugu State and having spent his formative years there, Adigwe later relocated to Austria, where he completed his primary and secondary education.
