Nollywood Actor, Pete Eneh Fails to pull through Amputation


The Nigerian movie industry otherwise known as Nollywood recorded another setback, Thursday, when it lost  one of its veteran actors, Pete Eneh  to the cold hands of death.

Pete lost the battle for his life days after he had one of his legs amputated  due to infection , at  Park Lane hospital in  Enugu. The amputation was earlier reported by Greenwich News. His health was said to have deteriorated after the amputation.

Confirming the news of his death,  former Chairman of  Enugu State chapter of Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, Mr. Ofiafuluagu Mbaka, said, the celebrated actor died around 1 pm yesterday, in Enugu, though he could not give more details about his death.
