Nollywood actor Ernest Asuzu slumped and died on Tuesday evening.

President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, has confirmed his death, according to a Punch report.

Rollas said, “Yes, Ernest Asuzu is dead. I am trying to reach his wife to get the full details. I will get back to you.”

Asuzu began his acting career in the ’90s and rose to prominence after he starred in the 1997 Nollywood classic, ‘Rituals’.
