Just a week ago, the 61-year-old actor made a plea for financial assistance for a kidney transplant in a distressing video. Confirming his battle with kidney disease on November 27, 2023, Muonagor’s relative, Tony ‘Oneweek’ Muonagor, had reached out for support.
Throughout his career, Muonagor appeared in numerous films, with one of his most renowned roles being in “Aki and Paw Paw,” where he portrayed the father of two mischievous teenagers. Regrettably, Muonagor’s demise comes shortly after the passing of another Nollywood icon, Mr Ibu (John Okafor), on March 2, 2024.
