Amaka Igwe's husband on how she died.

Charles Igwe, the husband of the late movie icon, Amaka Igwe during a condolence visit by delegates from the National Executive of the National Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (NANTAP) narrated how his wife died. He also added that she would have still been alive if doctors at the hospital she was rushed to were not on strike.
“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.”
May her soul find repose!!!
