Veteran Nollywood actress, Doris Chima is dead.

She is said to have died after a long fight with breast cancer.

Mrs Chima who was one of the founding members of the foundation members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), was a former vice-chairperson of Lagos AGN.

The Nations reports that her breast was cut off in 2020 after she was diagnosed of the disease to prevent further damage.

The news of her demise was confirmed by Lagos chairman of the AGN, Emeka Rising Ibe, who said he is still in shock over the sad incident as Chima was a dedicated member and good woman.

He said: “She called me last week and pleaded due to ill health not to remove her from the verification exercise I embarked on to ascertain true members of the guild in Lagos.

“Yesterday morning, I got a call that she was dead. Though I am yet to visit the family but it is a great loss for us. I pray for the repose of her soul.”
