Renowned actor Ameachi Muonagor has reached out to the public for assistance after disclosing that he is currently grappling with a stroke.
The veteran actor, well-known for his paternal roles in movies like Aki and Pawpaw, made this revelation in a widely circulated video on Thursday night.
He stated that he has been contending with the effects of a stroke for the past seven months. In the video, Ameachi, visibly bedridden, appealed to the public for financial support.
“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.
“In that set, I was with Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, and Ebele Okaro, at the end of that moment, I was to enter my car when I was struck with this problem and since then it’s getting worse. Right now I cannot move, I can’t walk on my own. All my half of left is paralyzed, so it’s a problem to me.”
Speaking further, Ameachi Muonagor said: “I’m so sorry I didn’t make it known to the public earlier, because I didn’t know it will 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.”
