Veteran Nollywood performer Ada Ameh has passed away.
The actress passed away on Sunday night. She was best known for playing Emu in the Africa Magic family drama, The Johnsons.
Emeka Rollas, the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, confirmed the information over the phone to The PUNCH on Monday morning.
"Ada was lost. We've lost Ada, Rollas said, without going into further detail at this time.
Viral unconfirmed rumours circulated on social media, however, asserting that the actress passed away Sunday night at a hospital in Delta State.
At around 11 p.m. on Sunday, she reportedly passed away in Warri, Delta State, after collapsing.
According to sources, she was visiting an oil business employee and his family in the Delta city at the time of her death.
She reportedly passed away while being transported to the adjacent Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Hospital.
The autopsy report of the most likely cause or causes of Adah Ameh's sudden death has not yet been made public by the NNPC hospital in Warri.
Additionally, DSP Bright Edafe, the police public relations officer (PPRO) for Delta State Command, could not be reached for comment at the time this report was filed.
The actress claimed that although she was given a job, she was unable to complete it due of mental health concerns.
The 48-year-old actress previously disclosed that she became pregnant with her daughter when she was just 13.
She claims that this occurred as a result of early sex exposure from peers.
Despite having given birth young, the actress lost her 30-year-old daughter Aladi Godgift in October 2020.
Aladi had passed away in Abuja following a failed surgery, and the actress last year paid a visit to her daughter's grave to commemorate the deceased's one-year passing.
