Ada Ameh, Nollywood star, is dead

Nollywood actress Ada Ameh has passed away.

The actress, popular for her role as ‘Emu’ in the Nigerian TV series The Johnsons, died on Sunday night.

It is understood that the movie star slumped in Warri, Delta state and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital where she died.

Her death comes a few weeks after she revealed she was battling mental health issue.

“I have an issue right now and it’s taking my life, but I won’t die. We would get over it. I was given a job, but I didn’t do it because I have mental health issues,” she had said.

“Would people understand when say you have mental issues? No, they wouldn’t. They are slamming me with a bill, suing me but it’s okay.”

It also comes about two years after she lost Aladi Godgift, her only daughter, after an unsuccessful surgery in Abuja.

Until her death, the actress was a popular name in the film industry.

She had earlier recounted how she was influenced by peers, introduced to early sex, and got pregnant at 13.

“It wasn’t my parents. My peers influenced me. They introduced me to early sex. One thing led to another, and I got pregnant,” she had said.

“I got pregnant in March, and I had my baby in December the same year. That means I got pregnant when I was 13+.”
