Nollywood actor, Lugard Onoyemu is Dead
- Tragedy sets again after the sad death of Nigerian music sensation
Goldie who represented Nigeria in last year’s edition of the reality
show Big Brother Africa. Nollywood actor, Lugard Onoyemu has been
reported dead.

Rising Ibe said that the deceased who had been battling a heart related
ailment, was immediately rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it.
Mr Ibe added that Onoyemu’s body has been deposited at the Lagos
State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). With tear soaked eyes, an
actress, Angela Phillips said
“ I couldn’t cry when I heard the death of Goldie but up
till now, I have not stopped crying since I heard of the death of
Lugard. It is too painful.
This was a man that sacrificed everything for AGN and got nothing.
AGN is like a baby to him and he just suffered for this industry and
look at the way he died? People have been dying but this one is
different. The well to do in the industry know that he has been ill yet,
did nothing to help him, now that he is gone, they will start making
donations. It is sad.”
It was gathered that the late thespian from Delta State had featured in numerous flicks.
