The legendary Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor is currently bedridden with paralysis stemming from a stroke and has reached out to the public for assistance.
The movie star, who graced many screens during his healthy days, disclosed that he has been left immobilized by the aftermath of a stroke.
In a poignant video, Amaechi Muonagor was shown lying in bed as he earnestly implored his fans and colleagues to come to his aid. He recounted the incident when he was on set with former colleagues, preparing to leave, and was suddenly struck by a stroke as he attempted to enter his car. He expressed gratitude that the incident didn’t occur while he was driving, and he acknowledged the uncertainty of the situation.
“I am sick, this thing that is called stroke caught up with me, and from there they rushed me to the hospital. The first hospital they rushed me to was in Nnewi, where I spent some two months and I was referred to Teaching Hospital Nnewi and here I am.
“I was on a movie set with Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, and Ebele Okaro. I was to enter my car when I was struck with this problem and since then it’s been getting worse. Right now, I cannot move, I can’t walk on my own. Half of my left leg is paralyzed, so it’s a problem for me.”
Speaking further, Ameachi said: “I’m so sorry I didn’t make it known to the public earlier, because I didn’t know it would last this long, but as it is now, I am calling on well-minded individuals to come to my assistance, to see how they can help me. It’s paralysis, half of my body.”
While explaining his decision to keep his health challenges private, he extended an apology to the public and humbly requested assistance.
