In response to the recent string of tragic losses within Nollywood, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has announced a dedicated four-day prayer and fasting, to avert future occurrences.
Emeka Rollas, the national president of the guild, announced on Monday via Instagram, emphasizing the involvement of Pastor Jerry Eze, the founder of Streams of Joy International Church, in this spiritual endeavour.
Rollas stressed the crucial significance of these prayers in preventing any more tragedies within Nollywood, particularly following the recent losses of actors Mr. Ibu and Amaeachi Muonagor, who battled illness bravely, and Junior Pope, whose life was tragically shortened in a boat accident.
In his post, the AGN president tagged numerous movie stars, stating:
“In view of the recent passing of our two veteran members and the devastating tragic boat mishap that claimed the lives of five active practitioners including John Paul Odonwodo, aka, Jnr Pope in Asaba, we have decided to seek divine intervention in fasting and prayers to avert similar occurrence in the future.
“Join us on the Alter of Fire from 2nd May to 5th may 2024 for prayers and declarations to deal with this ugly reproach.
“Actors cannot continue to die like chicken let us reclaim our spiritual airways and highways that seem to have been hijacked by certain powers. Other members of the Nollywood are free to join in this programme.appeal to all NSPDians all over the world and all lovers of ACTORS of NOLLYWO0D to join us in this programme.”
