Veteran Nollywood actor, Amaechi Muonagor now paralysed; cries out for help from a hospital bed.
Awka, Anambra State – Nollywood veteran Amaechi Muonagor, a beloved figure in the Nigerian film industry, is currently battling a devastating health crisis as he lies paralyzed in a hospital bed.
The 61-year-old veteran actor, renowned for his memorable performances in numerous Nigerian movies, recently made an emotional plea for assistance after suffering a stroke that has left him immobile.
Pleading for help from a hospital bed, the actor disclosed that he cannot move without assistance.
In a tearful message shared with the public, Muonagor stated, “I never thought I would be in this situation. Life can be so unpredictable. I had a stroke that has left me paralyzed, and I’m unable to move or care for myself. I am in dire need of assistance and support from well-wishers and the entertainment community.”
He explained that he suffered a stroke just as he was about to get into his car while leaving a movie set.
He said he was on the movie set about seven months ago with some of his colleagues, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, Emeka Ani, Ebele Okaro, and more. He was about to enter his car when the stroke happened and it has been getting worse.
He expressed gratitude that it didn’t happen when he was driving as it could have been fatal.
Muonagor noted that he was first rushed to a hospital in Nnewi and he was there for two months before he was taken to the teaching hospital, where he has been for three months now.
