Amaka Igwe, one of Nigeria’s foremost film producers, writer, director and a leading player in the industry, is dead.
According my source, Amaka died on Monday night in Enugu after she suffered asthmatic attack and was immediately rushed to a hospital, but died before they arrived at the hospital .
Amaka had gone to Enugu in company of her husband for a pre-production preparation for a new Igbo soap when the sad incident occurred.
Amaka is survived by her husband of 21 years, Charles Igwe, three children, and an aged mother
She founded the BoB TV Expo, and was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Top Radio 90.9 FM, Amaka Igwe Studios, and the newly-launched Q Entertainment Networks.
Amaka hit national limelight as the writer and producer of the award-winning TV soap, “Checkmate’’, and “Fuji House of Commotion’’.
Her Nollywood projects include `RattleSnake’ and `Violated’, two critically-acclaimed movies that set apart Amaka Igwe Studios in the much-criticised Nollywood industry.
