Veteran Nollywood actress Ethel Ekpe has passed away after a protracted battle with illness.
The actress, who was allegedly fighting cancer, passed away on Wednesday, February 7, as the National Film and Video Censors Board’s Director-General, Shaibu Husseini, revealed in a Facebook post.
Husseini said: “I have been reliably informed that Ethel Ekpe, (Ethel Aderemi nee Ekpe), the screen beauty that delighted fans with her inimitable interpretation of the role of Segi in the defunct sitcom on Nigerian Television Authority by Ken Saro Wiwa titled ‘Basi and Company’ has passed on.
“The actress, pastor, and star of Amaka Igwe’s ‘Forever’ and most recently ‘Sons of the Caliphate” reportedly died of cancer today in Lagos. She will be sorely missed.”
Before she passed away, Ethel had portrayed “Segi” in the Ken Saro Wiwa sitcom “Basi and Company” on Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). [CONTINUE READING HERE]
