The tragic news of the deaths of well-known Nollywood actors Saint Obi and Murphy Afolabi was followed by the death of another actor, Chikezie Uwazie.
After a second brain surgery, the actor apparently passed away a few days ago in the United States of America.
Chikezie Uwazie, one of the biggest performers of the early 2000s, moved from Nigeria to the US more than seven years ago.
Before he relocated, he featured in several Nollywood flicks including the movie, “Musical Whispers”, a film on Autism, produced by Ebele Okaro and directed by Bond Emeruwa.

He was also in, “Village Destroyer” alongside Osita Iheme, Ugo Ugbor, and “Last Kiss”, where he acted alongside Emeka Ike, Ini Edo, Ejike Asiegbu and Mercy Johnson Okojie, among several other movies.
His colleague, Obey Etok Chima posted the news of his passage on her Facebook on Sunday. She wrote, “I can’t imagine am posting this. Chikezie Uwazie goneeeee. After a 2nd brain surgery. Gini na emezi. Am so shocked to get this news this evening. Just got this from our IMSU alumni platform. I thought you told me you were going to the states for greener pastures. You promised to come back some years back but I didn’t see you. Can’t believe you are gone but God knows best. Rest on Chyko”.
Uwazie’s death is the third in Nollywood within the last three days after St. Obi and Murphy Afolabi.
