Panic-stricken Nollywood stars have run to the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to help them ward off the spate of deaths that has hit the entertainment industry.
And Pastor Adeboye, who is also particularly concerned about the tragedies that have befallen the industry, promptly heeded their call and held a special prayer session for the entertainers yesterday at the RCCG national headquarters, The Throne of Grace Parish, Ebute-Meta, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
During the special service which was attended by the creme-de-la-creme of the movie industry, Pastor Adeboye prayed against deaths and sicknesses among the artistes, and also delivered a sermon on how the entertainers can harness their talent in a righteous and profitable way.
In recent times, the entertainment industry has been plagued by sicknesses and deaths of prominent practitioners, the latest being the death of prolific actor, Ashley Nwosu.
Between last year and this year, other prominent artistes that have died include Dagrin, CD John, Chidinma of Koko Mansion fame, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Ahmed Durojaiye, a.k.a. Alasari who died in a car crash on 20 March this year.
Meanwhile, star actress, Temitayo Odueke, a.k.a. Sikiratu Sindodo, Prince Ifeanyi Dike and Uche Odoputa are currently battling to recover from one ailment or the other.
