Nollywood actor Rich Oganiru dies after protracted illness
Nollywood actor, Rich Oganiru, has died.
The actor reportedly died on Tuesday, August 10, 2021, after a protracted illness.
Two weeks ago, a video of the Nollywood veteran lying in his sickbed and begging for financial assistance hit the internet.
“Please, everyone should reach out before he dies,” the caption on the post reads.
Unfortunately, Rich didn’t survive.
A friend announced his death on Facebook.
Back in 2012, the Nollywood actor, who starred in numerous movies, was arrested for allegedly murdering his wife.
According to news reports at the time, Oganiru was arrested following a petition by the family and relations of his late wife who claimed that she was poisoned by the actor so that he could acquire her wealth.
Oganiru has maintained his innocence and said on numerous occasions that he never killed his multimillionaire wife.
