Chinyere Wilfred, a Nollywood actress and film producer, has announced the demise of her mother.
The movie star took to her social media page on Sunday to break the sad news in a short video clip.
In the video, Wilfred could be seen with slightly swollen eyes as a result of intense weeping indicating her sad mood over the incident.
The Anambra-born actress also accompanied the clip, which contained a photo of her late mother, with a terse post that read: “R.I.P Mama”.
