The film producer and presenter, who doubles as the wife of Sam Boye, a Nollywood filmmaker, was said to have breathed her last on Sunday after complaining of ill health — a day before.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a source close to the deceased, who broke the sad news to TheCable Lifestyle, said further information would be divulged as regards the circumstances that led to her death.
