Nollywood was thrown into mourning on Thursday when one of its veteran actors, Pete Eneh passed on.
Eneh died several days after one of his legs was amputated due to an infection at Park Lane hospital, Enugu. His health reportedly deteriorated after the amputation.
The actor had sustained an injury sometime last year but due to lack of proper care, the injury developed into a serious sore that refused to heal due to his diabetic nature.
He was advised by doctors to amputate the leg to avoid the infection spreading to other parts of his body after three months of seeing no improvement in the hospital.
The leg was eventually amputated on Wednesday, October 24.
Former Chairman of Enugu State chapter of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Mr Ofiafuluagu Mbaka confirming the news to Vanguard said the actor died around 1pm on Thursday in Enugu.
