Nigerian child actor Ifeanyi Ezeokeke, known for his character 'Ugo Shave Me' in the popular 1999 movie Conspiracy, is reportedly down with an unidentified illness.
A video of the ailing star with a friend and colleague who visited him went viral recently.
The video showed him in a deteriorated condition. Ifeanyi Ezeokeke's current state left netizens worried.
Legit.ng reported in 2020 that actors Diewait Ipechukwu and Ejike Okoye brought his critical condition to light after paying him a visit. They also uploaded images of Ezeokeke, who appeared to have suffered from a sort of paralysis.
The recent video making the rounds online showed the actor in that same paralytic condition struggling with his speech and motions.
