Popular Nigerian actress, Ify Onwuemene has sadly passed on.

Newshuntermag.com‘s source indicated that she died after battling endometrial cancer.

A colleague of the deceased actress, Gloria Anozie-Young broke the sad news through a post on Facebook.

“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 eight 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,” she wrote.

Gloria added: “Ify spent more than N10m, 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 N280,000, but only 3 litres 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.”

Details about her burial and funeral arrangements are yet to be revealed by the family.

Farewell, thee Ify.
