Actor Obey Etok took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking news of Chikezie Uwazie’s demise. Tragically, Uwazie passed away in the United States after undergoing a second brain surgery.
Obey Etok received the devastating news through the alumni platform of IMSU (Imo State University), where they both studied. The sudden loss has left the Nollywood fraternity in a state of deep sadness.
In his tribute, Obey Etok reminisced about a conversation he had with Chikezie, during which the late actor expressed his dreams of pursuing better opportunities in the United States. Little did they know that this journey would end so unexpectedly and tragically.
The departure of Chikezie Uwazie has left a void in the hearts of those who knew and collaborated with him in the Nigerian film industry. His untimely passing serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.
With a heavy heart, I share the news of Chikezie Uwazie’s passing. It’s hard to fathom that after a second brain surgery, he is no longer with us. The shock of receiving this news this evening is overwhelming. The message came through our IMSU alumni platform, and it’s difficult to believe that someone who spoke of pursuing greener pastures in the United States won’tj be coming back as promised years ago. We may struggle to comprehend your departure, but we trust that God’s plan is best. Rest in peace, Chyko.
