Chikezie Uwazie, who left Nigeria for America over seven years ago, reportedly died a few days ago after undergoing a second brain surgery.
The actor’s colleague, Obey Etok Chima, confirmed the sad news late Sunday night in a post shared on her Facebook page.
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.”
