Nollywood has been thrown into mourning following the demise of veteran actor Columbus Irisoanga.
His death was confirmed by fellow actress Hilda Dokubo, who took to social media to express her grief.
“There can’t be a shortage of angels in heaven that the few here are called home like this na! This one is heavy on us. Uniport Rivers state Nollywood,” she lamented
Irisoanga, who was not only an actor but also a senior lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt, taught in the Theatre Arts department, where he shaped the next generation of actors and artists.
The actor is most remembered for his iconic role as the chief priest “Igbudu” in the 2001 Nollywood classic Isakaba.
His portrayal of the character earned him a lasting place in the hearts of Nollywood fans, and he continued to appear in films up until his passing.
