Nollywood actress Ify Onwuemene has died after years of battling endometrial cancer.

The Everyday People actress died on Tuesday according to friend and colleague Gloria Young.

Mrs. Young made the announcement in a social media post on Tuesday night.

“With a deep sense of loss but total submission to God Almighty, we regret to announce that IFEY ONWUEMENE has gone to be with the Lord.

“IFEY ONWUEME was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, her womb was removed but she has been battling the ailment for many years now.

“In 2019, even after 8 sessions of chemotherapy, the doctors told her she had reached stage 4.

“However, we are not sure if she was given the wrong diagnosis or being treated with the wrong chemo, because she still felt pains on her upper abdomen and her tummy bloated.

“Ify spent more than 10million naira, being helped with donations by her fellow actors and other Nigerians. A GoFundMe account was opened for her but it did not yield much.

 

“She had to go for draining every two weeks at a cost of 280,000naira but only 3litres of liquid can be removed at a time so that her heart is not affected.

“IFEY has finally gone to rest, today 25th May, 2021. May her soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

“Burial arrangements will be released by the family,” the actress wrote.
