The Nigerian film industry, Nollywood, has lost yet another of its performers, veteran actor Columbus Irisoanga, fondly referred to as ‘Igbudu’.
The news of his passing was announced by fellow actress and politician Hilda Dokubo on Instagram.
Hilda Dokubo described Columbus’ death as a heavy loss not only to the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he was an alumnus but also to the entire Nollywood community.
“There can’t be a shortage of Angels in heaven that the few here are called home like this na! This one is heavy on Uniport Rivers state Nollywood,” she wrote.
Columbus Irisoanga’s demise comes just a few days after the passing of another Nollywood actress, Pat Ugwu, who died at the age of 35.
