The late movie producer's death was announced by a movie and arts practitioner, Shuaibu Husseini.
In a statement received by Husseini, Ugbomah died on Saturday at about 1PM in a hospital.
The late filmmaker was scheduled for a surgery before his death was confirmed by doctors, Husseini further told Pulse.
“I have the permission of the Chair of the Chief Eddie Ugbomah Medical Fund Committee Alhaji Adedayo Thomas (DG, NFVCB) to break the news of the passage into eternity of the Veteran Filmmaker Chief Eddie Ugbomah, OON. The veteran filmmaker died an hour ago at the hospital where he was scheduled to undergo a surgery on Monday. Sad..but we totally submit to the Almighty,” the statement read.
In April, Ugbomah called for help over his failing health on Facebook after which the Executive Director of NFVCB, Adedayo Thomas took him out of the hospital and transferred him to anothet hospital in Yaba for further treatment.

ReplyDeleteThis country is a joke, its so sad these veterans are dying like this. Can't some regions look after their own?these people didn't make much money from acting, couldn't Delta state government come to the aid of one of its own? Baba Suwe has been flown abroad for proper medical care, Ngozi Nwosu git help from Lagos state government too. Fregene is there o barely hanging unto life. Delta state help your own!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that Ngozi got help, that woman would have died just like that. Imagine Skinny Girl in transit without Ngozi?
DeleteI wish Nigeria would have better Healthcare. Too many people die from avoidable causes.
