News: The Doctors’ Strike Caused My Wife's Death- Charles Igwe (Amaka Igwe's husband)

Late veteran filmmaker Amaka Igwe's husband  Mr Charles Igwe, while receiving delegates from the National Executive of the National Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (NANTAP) who paid him a condolence visit days ago, says the ongoing Doctors' strike led to his wife's untimely death.

Narrating how Amaka died, Mr Charles painfully said:

“We were in Enugu preparing for her new soap, and Amaka was taking some of the people through acting when she had an asthma attack. After using her inhaler without success, she was taken to a nearby hospital, but we were told that the doctor was not around. We then went to the teaching hospital in Enugu, where we were again told that the Doctors were on strike. It was while we were taking her to another hospital that she died.”

#Sad, may God rest her soul- Amen.
