Veteran Nollywood actor, Enebeli Elebuwa, has died in an Indian hospital.
Elebuwa, who died on Tuesday night, had been battling the effects of a stroke for sometime and undergone treatment at some hospitals in Nigeria before being moved abroad.
The illness had kept him bedridden for sometime.
Elebuwa was well known for the role he played as Andrew in a campaign by the Federal Government in the 80s to discourage Nigerians from fleeing the country.
The immediate President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Mr. Segun Arinze, confirmed Elebuwa’s death on the telephone.
He said, “He fought gallantly. He was a great actor. We all called him Andrew but unfortunately, he has checked out.
“We thank the Delta State Government which stood by him. We also thank the Delta State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Richard Mofe-Damijo, for his efforts.”
Other Nollywood personalities who have died in the last few months include Sam Loco Efe, Geraldine Ekeocha, Ahmed Alasari, Akin Ogungbe, Ashley Nwosu, Dento, Taiwo Bello and Pete Eneh.

He was a good Nigerian Actor. Why did he have to go to India when the Prophet TB Joshua was just next door? I am sure TBJ saw that this guy had a real life threatening illness and he would not survive his stage managed miracles. This is the reality of the world we live in.
