The national president of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Emeka Rollas has revealed that veteran actor Amaechi Muonagor is completely paralysed and needs urgent help.
Mr Rollas revealed this in a recent chat with Vanguard while giving an update about the health condition of another actor Mr Ibu.
According to the AGN president, who recently visited Muonagor alongside some of his colleagues at the Intensive Care Unit of Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, the actor’s state of health is pitiable, as he is currently a shadow of his old self.
“You will shed tears if you see Amaechi Muonagor now, his legs are completely paralyzed. I’m calling on all fans and well wishers of the actor to join hands with other philanthropic Nigerians to support him in this dire time,” Rollas said.
Emeka Rollas revealed via Instagram that he has approved the sum of N250,000 to be sent to the ailing actor’s account from the AGN Trust Fund, which, according to him, may not be enough, following Muonagor’s records with the Guild HMO and Insurance policy.
Rollas, however, urged young actors to endeavour to sign up for the AGN HMO and Insurance programmes.
Amaechi’s health condition was made known to the public on November 3 after a video of him begging for financial support went viral.
