The Nigerian film industry, Nollywood, is in mourning following the sudden loss of two prominent actors, Colobus Irisoanga and Pat Ugwu.

The news of Colobus’ passing was announced by veteran actress Hilda Dokubo on her Instagram page. Dokubo described the loss as a heavy blow to the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and the Nollywood community.

“There can’t be a shortage of angels in heaven that the few here are called home like this! This one is heavy on Uniport, Rivers State, and Nollywood,” Dokubo wrote.

Tragically, Colobus’ death coincided with the shocking news of Pat Ugwu’s passing at the young age of 35. The industry is still reeling from the double loss.
