Agu’s tribute comes at a time when the Nigerian entertainment industry is still grappling with the loss of several well-known figures in a short period.
Earlier this month, Sharon Okpamen, the Nollywood actress and producer, passed away just one month after childbirth.
On July 30, Onyeka Onwenu, the iconic Nigerian singer and actress, slumped and died after a performance in Lagos.
