Nollywood actor, Rich Oganiru, dies

Nollywood actor, Rich Oganiru, has passed on. The actor reportedly died on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 after being ill for months.

Rich Oganiru had been sick and was begging for financial assistance in a video that was shared online. “Please, everyone should reach out before he dies,” the caption on the post reads.

Unfortunately, Rich didn’t survive. A friend announced his death on Facebook.

Back in 2012, the Nollywood actor was arrested for allegedly murdering his wife. According to news reports at the time, Oganiru was arrested following a petition by family and relations of his late wife who claimed that she was poisoned by the actor so that he could acquire her wealth. Mr Oganiru has maintained his innocence and said on numerous occasions that he never killed his multimillionaire wife.
