Popular Nollywood Actor Dies In Church
Veteran Nollywood actor, Theodore Anyanji, died on Saturday, November 23 at a prayer healing church in Festac, Lagos State, after battling a heart and kidney-related ailment for months.
Meanwhile, a fundraiser had been announced on the actor’s behalf, earlier this month, but yielded little or no result.
The news of Anyanji’s death was announced on Sunday by actor, Valentine Opute in a social media post.
“Go well Theodore. You fought a good fight. Theodore the Star maker. A perfectionist in all spheres. Last I spoke with you, you sounded” Opute wrote.
“Strong and promising, not knowing it was a farewell call I gave you. This pricks my heart so deeply I must say. Theodore gave me my first ever major role in a movie in 2008 INDIAN DOCTOR, Just like he did to a lot other now successful actors. The GOLD behind a thousand and one Nollywood evergreen movies. It is well.”
