“1. How can someone who slumped inside a church sustain bruises on the face? 2. Who are Chinedu’s parishioner friends? 3. Who are Chinedu’s friends in Enugu where she is practising her craft?
“So its either someone killed her or she took a suicidal substance and decided to die in the church.
“Autopsy must be conducted to ascertain the main cause of her death. Let me use this medium to address Actors. No man is an Island.
“It’s gross irresponsibility for any actor to be in an Industry such as ours without being up to date with the Actors Guild of Nigeria. Stop hiding under all those ridiculous woods as an actor to claim you are a certified actor.
“Because once there is an issue whether in good or bad light, the pressure comes on AGN as if AGN is anybody’s next of kin. Please, social media hailing, accolades is not love. Even animals move in clusters.”
The actress popularly known as Choco featured in movies including ‘The Mad’, ‘Money Fever’, ‘The Big Mama’s Stick’, ‘The Last Manhood’ and ‘Mad Love’.
