Founder of Silverbird Group Senator Ben Murray-Bruce says the late founder of the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) Peace Anyiam-Osigwe was like a little sister to him.
The 66-year-old said this in a message posted on social media on Tuesday, a day after Ms Anyiam-Osigwe died.
“Anyiam-Osigwe was like my little sister. Her death breaks my heart. Nollywood and the Nigerian entertainment industry has lost a gem. May God comfort her family, loved ones and the entertainment industry. May He grant her soul eternal rest,” Murray-Bruce wrote.
Anyiam-Osigwe’s death was officially announced by her family on Tuesday.
The family described the deceased as “an outstanding personality, trailblazer, titan, pathfinder, go-getter, humanitarian, one-of-a-kind creative, and visionary leader in the film and television industry.”
