Foremost producer, writer, director and a leading player in
the Nigerian motion picture industry
Amaka Igwe is dead. She reportedly suffered an
asthmatic attack, and died while being taken to the hospital.
According to reports, she was in
Enugu for pre-production of an Igbo series. Ibinabo Fiberesima, the President of
the Actor’s Guild of Nigeria, confirmed the news to Best
of Nollywood.
Amak Igwe may not have started shooting movies in 1992 but it
is not in doubt that Amaka Igwe’s effort as a motion picture practitioner has
drawn international recognition for the burgeoning Nigerian motion picture
industry. Some of her early efforts like Checkmate and Violated has largely
remained a watershed in the history of soaps and movie production in Nigeria.
