The Nigerian movie industry is in mourning following the passing of veteran nollywood actress Sandra Ikwuegbu. She reportedly died today, June 16, after battling leg cancer.

Her colleagues have taken to social media to express their grief. Movie producer Stanley Ontop wrote, "Popular Nollywood actress/veteran Mrs. Sandra Ikwuegbu is dead. The veteran actress left this world today after battling leg cancer. Rest well, Madam Sandra. Nollywood not again. It’s well. Shalom!"

Another colleague, Ijele Ozioma Christy Ejiofor, who visited the late actress's home this afternoon, shared her sorrow: "Ukwu Gi Dia. Why? You scaled through several accidents and all. Eniure/Achiere came, and in less than a week, it killed you. Oh my… I feel bad. Sandra Ikwuegbu, you didn't enjoy a thing. Why? Just why? Adieu, Great Actress Extraordinary."

May her soul rest in peace. Amen.
