The president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, has refuted reports that actor Don Brymo collapsed and died on set. Rollas took to his official Instagram page to address the rumors surrounding Brymo’s sudden demise.
On Thursday, actor Don Brymo passed away, sparking speculations that he had collapsed while filming a movie on Wednesday and was subsequently rushed to a hospital in Anambra State, where he later died.
Rollas, however, set the record straight by stating that Brymo did not collapse on set as widely speculated. He expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased and revealed that the AGN has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his unfortunate passing.
“The Actors Guild of Nigeria was thrown into another state of grief following the sudden demise of Don Brymo, who was reported to have slumped on a film set in Rivers State and later passed on,” Rollas said in his statement.
He continued, “This tragic death came as a rude shock and has thrown the entire Guild into another grieving moment as we mourn his death. I have taken reports from all the actors on set with him and found out that he didn’t collapse on set as widely speculated.”
Expressing his sympathy for Brymo’s family, Rollas emphasized the need for a preliminary investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, particularly at the hospital where he was rushed to receive medical attention.
“I and the entire members of the Guild are saddened by this tragic development of a death that could have possibly been avoided if urgent intervention was provided. May Don Brymo’s soul rest in peace, and may God comfort all of us left behind to mourn him,” Rollas concluded.
