The news of the death of veteran Nollywood actress, Ada
Ameh, shocked fans and colleagues when it was made public on Monday.
Ameh, who was popular for her role as Emu in Africa Magic
family drama, The Johnsons, died on Sunday night.
Members of The Johnsons cast and crew have also joined the
plethora of fans who mourned the late actress.
Actor Charles Inojie, who played Mr Johnson and Emu’s husband in the family drama shared a picture of the actress on his Instagram page.
He wrote, “It has taken a while to authenticate this sad
news before going public under advisement from Ada’s manager who was on his way
to Warri to secure physical confirmation of the horrible news that hit us all
this morning.
“He has just called in from Warri and sadly he has confirmed
our worst fears. Our beloved Emuakpor Johnson is no more!
“It is with deep sense of loss, total submission to the will
of God, that Native Media Tv, cast and crew of @theofficialthejohnsons
painfully announce the passing of our dear sister, friend, colleague and
Matriarch of The Johnsons clan Ada Obande Ameh (aka Emuakpor Johnson).
“To all our teeming fans around the world, we have truly
lost a rare and vibrant gem, but celebrate the life of an icon who daily put
smiles on every face and spreads love in every home.
“Together, we join our voices with yours to offer prayers on
behalf of the family. May God grant them the fortitude to bear this
irreplaceable loss.
“ADA, you will be missed but your memory will live on in our
hearts forever. We love you.”
Actress Seun Osigbesan, who once played Jennifer and Emu’s
daughter in the comedy series, also penned a touching tribute for the late
actress
She wrote, “My maama. It’s been extremely hard for me all
day. Never ever thought I would be making an ‘RIP’ post of you maama.
“Tears wouldn’t even allow me type as I am completely
devastated and broken.
My maama, It’s so hard to even think or imagine you’re no
more, not talking of embracing its reality. This news of your demise is a sharp
pain in the chest. It is as though a missile just exploded in a city.
“I kept saying and repeating these words to myself as I
wept, ‘it is well’, Never will you be forgotten my maama. NEVER!!! RIP maama.”
A post on Africa Magic official Instagram page also paid a
glowing tribute to the actress.
“Farewell to a gem, Ada Ameh. Your passion brought so many
smiles and love to families beyond measure. You will be missed. From all of us@
Africa Magic, “the post read.
It continued, “A rare gem has left our presence on earth,
but she will forever be in our hearts. ADA AMEH, you brought so much light,
love and laughter to our screens and homes.
“Your ever bubbly nature will be forever missed but never
forgotten. Rest well. We will all miss you. #AdaAmeh #GoneButNotForgotten.”
