The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has announced a four-day prayer and fasting session over the recent deaths in Nollywood and to “avert similar occurrence in the future”.
The guild’s national president Emeka Rollas made the announcement in an Instagram post on Monday, in which it was noted that Pastor Jerry Eze will lead the prayer session.
Emeka Rollas stressed that the prayers are imperative to prevent further deaths in Nollywood, following the demise of actors Mr Ibu and Amaeachi Muonagor who battled illness and Junior Pope who died in a boat accident.
He wrote: “In view of the recent passing of our two veteran members and the devastating tragic boat mishap that claimed the lives of five active practitioners including John Paul Odonwodo, aka, Jnr Pope in Asaba, we have decided to seek divine intervention in fasting and prayers to avert similar occurrence in the future.
“Join us on the Alter of Fire from 2nd May to 5th may 2024 for prayers and declarations to deal with this ugly reproach.
“Actors cannot continue to die like chicken let us reclaim our spiritual airways and highways that seem to have been hijacked by certain powers. Other members of the Nollywood are free to join in this programme.appeal to all NSPDians all over the world and all lovers of ACTORS of NOLLYWO0D to join us in this programme.”
