Popular Nigerian content creator and actor, Odira Nwobu, has reportedly passed away.

The tragic news was shared on Monday by fellow content creator and blogger, Awuzie Frankline, who posted a video and tributes on his Facebook page announcing Nwobu’s death.

Although Frankline did not disclose the exact cause of death, he hinted that the actor may have passed away just hours after clubbing in South Africa over the weekend.

In one emotional post, Frankline wrote: “God why! ODIRA why leave us… The call I received now was not a good one. #Odiegwu.”

In another, he expressed shock over the sudden turn of events: “You were full of life even some hours ago in South Africa, and you even had your thanksgiving service just a few months ago. Many people came to celebrate with you. How can you return from South Africa lifeless? Honestly, I am drowning in tears. Death is rude. I am heartbroken.”

Another colleague, comedian Evan Okoro, also expressed disbelief, sharing Nwobu’s photo with the caption:
“No… I can’t believe this. Nooooo.”

ABN TV reported Odira Nwobu, a few months ago to have survived a ghastly car accident. This event further shocked many who believed he had survived a near-death experience only to now be confirmed dead.
