Doctors’ strike caused Amaka Igwe’s death – Husband speaks



It has been revealed that the ongoing Doctor’s strike action in Enugu, led to filmmaker, Amaka Igwe’s death.

Narrating how his wife, Amaka Igwe died on Monday night in Enugu, her bereaved husband
said “we were in Enugu preparing for her new soap, and Amaka was taking some of the people through acting when she had an asthma attack. After using inhaler without success, she was taken to a nearby hospital, but we were told that the doctor was not around.

We then went to the teaching hospital in Enugu, where we were again told that the doctors were on strike. It was while we were taking her to another hospital that she died.” Charles painfully disclosed this while receiving delegates from the national executive of the National Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (NANTAP) who paid him a condolence visit days ago.
