Amaechi Muonagor, known for his comical roles on screen, passed away on sunday after a protracted battle with a kidney disease.
The tragic news of Mounagor’s death was confirmed by a family source on the evening of Sunday, March 24, 2024.
A native of Idemili in Anambra State, Muonagor’s demise comes as a shock to many, especially after a recent viral video surfaced online, showing a relative appealing for financial assistance to support the actor’s kidney transplant.
