It has been revealed that the ongoing Doctor’s strike action in Enugu, led to film maker, Amaka Igwe’s death.
Narrating how his wife, Amaka Igwe died on Monday night in Enugu, her bereaved husband
said “we were in Enugu
preparing for her new soap, and Amaka was taking some of the people through
acting when she had an asthma attack. After using inhaler without success, she
was taken to a nearby hospital, but we were told that the doctor was not
around.
We then went to the teaching hospital in Enugu, where we were again told
that the doctors were on strike. It was while we were taking her to another
hospital that she died.” Charles painfully disclosed this while receiving
delegates from the national executive of the National Association of Nigerian
Theatre Arts Practitioners (NANTAP) who paid him a condolence visit days ago.
So sad!
