Budding actress Francisca Choji found dead in Jos hotel

A budding actress identified as Francisca Choji has been found dead in a Plateau state hotel.

Gabriel Ubah, the spokesperson of the Plateau state police, confirmed Choji’s demise to TheCable Lifestyle on Wednesday.

Ubah said the fast-rising actress was found floating in the water at Rayfield Resort in Jos with no immediately apparent sign of foul play.

“She was found floating in that Rayfield Resort. There were no parts removed from her. We are aware and an investigation is ongoing. We cannot ascertain if anybody killed her because there was no sign of violence,” he said.

TheCable Lifestyle also reached out to the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) for comment on Choji’s death but it had yet to respond as of the time of this report.

The incident comes a few days after the passing of Chinedu Bernard, another Nollywood actress, in Enugu state.

Bernard was said to have slumped last Friday while cleaning the Chapel of St. Leo the Great Catholic Church.

It is understood that the actress was rushed to a hospital where she was eventually confirmed dead.

“Many questions yet to be answered. How can someone who slumped inside a church sustain bruises on the face?” he asked,” said Emeka Rollas, the AGN president, who demanded that an autopsy be conducted.

“It’s either someone killed her or she took a suicidal substance and decided to die in the church.

“Autopsy must be conducted to ascertain the main cause of her death. Let me use this medium to address actors.”
