Actress Rita Edochie has mourned the passing of veteran actor, Mr. Ibu.
She stated that the loss of the actor is a big loss to the industry and Nigeria.
Edochie, via her Instagram page, stated how hurtful it is to receive the sad news of the veteran actor’s death, knowing how he suffered so much and groaned painfully before his exit.
She said: “What hurts me most is not even your demise, it’s knowing the fact that you suffered so much and groaned painfully in the grips of paleness.
“The last time I went to see you at Evercare hospital in Lagos, we discussed to a certain extent and I was very excited that full recuperation was taking place.
“I think this is the time the heavens want to welcome your soul and relieve you of all the stress and burden sickness imposed on you at least now you can rest and the illness too can rest.
“In as much as I know that this right here is very excruciating, we still do not have the right to question the giver of life. Death is really inevitable, it’s a call everyone would answer everything in life is transient.
“May your peaceful and ever-living soul rest in power my great friend, brother, and colleague. Nollywood will miss you dearly. All I beg god for is that he gives the family you left behind the fortitude to bear this loss, Amen.”
