Nigerian actor and content creator, Odira Nwobu, has reportedly died.
The news was announced on Monday by blogger and fellow creator, Awuzie Frankline, who posted a video on Facebook showing Nwobu lying lifeless. Frankline did not give details of what led to the death.
However, his post suggested that Nwobu reportedly died only hours after clubbing in South Africa over the weekend.
In one of his emotional posts, Frankline wrote:
“God why! ODIRA, why leave us… The call I received now was not a good one.”
In another message, he added:
“You were full of life just hours ago in South Africa, and you even had your thanksgiving service a few months back. How can you return from South Africa lifeless? I am drowning in tears. Death is rude. I am heartbroken.”
Comedian Evan Okoro also reacted on Facebook, posting Nwobu’s picture with the words, “No, I can’t believe this.”
Nwobu made headlines months ago after being involved in a serious car accident. A viral video at the time showed bystanders pulling victims from the wrecked vehicle.
As of the time of this report, Nwobu’s family has not released any official statement confirming the incident.
