Veteran Nollywood actor Zulu Adigwe is dead

Following the discovery on social media on Tuesday of the passing of another seasoned Nollywood actor, Zulu Adigwe, the Nigerian film industry was once again plunged into sadness.

Film producer Stanley Nwoko revealed Adigwe’s passing via a post on his Instagram page.

Nwoko remarked, “Rest in peace, good actor,” in mourning for the actor.

This is barely two weeks after Junior Pope and three other Nollywood actors died in a boat accident in the Anam River.

Adigwe became well-known for his roles as paternal figures in Nollywood movies.

His breakthrough performance was in the hit sitcom “Basi and Company” where he acted as Mr. B.

Additionally, he starred in the highly popular 2019 film “Living in Bondage: Breaking Free.”

Despite having been born and raised in Enugu State, he eventually relocated to Austria to finish his elementary and secondary education.

Before becoming an actor, he worked as a teacher, studied French and German, and briefly pursued a medical degree. After his father died, he returned to Nigeria. He enrolled at the University of Ibadan to study theater arts, and he received first-class honors upon graduating.
