Veteran Nollywood actor Diewait Ikpechukwu passed away at the age of 71.
The actor, a former football player as well, apparently died on Thursday after a protracted illness.
His death was confirmed by a family source; however, as of the time this report was filed, the circumstances were still unknown.
Ikpechukwu was well-known in the Nigerian film industry for his talents as an actor; therefore, his passing is another setback.
Reacting to a mourning post by the guild, Chiamaka said, “Please take down the post. Let me be the one to announce my papa’s death.”
Questioning why the movie industry waited until members died to show love, she warned that nobody should contact her now that her father is dead.

“Please, Actors’ Guild, I don’t want you guys posting my daddy. Make nobody post my papa, please. This is a very hard video for me to make. Nobody should call me; nobody should post my daddy’s poster.
“I’m still wearing my daddy’s shirt. Take that post down, please. Let me be the one to announce my papa’s death. I don’t want you guys to do that for me.”
Nigerian artist Crayon has announced that he has broken up with long-time buddy Rema and accused Mavin Records of negatively altering his life, saying he lost his previous personality after signing with the company.
Crayon made the accusations in a series of posts on X, where he expressed dissatisfaction with the label and the individuals he said had harmed him on multiple occasions.
“What really happened to the old Crayon! Mavin killed him!!! They killed the loving and playful Crayon!” he wrote.
The singer said he joined Mavin as an innocent young man from Ojo, with the hope of becoming one of the greatest artistes, but alleged that he was made to compromise himself before achieving fame.
