Emeka Rollas, President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, has stated that the late Nollywood actress Chinedu Bernard was murdered.

This was mentioned by the AGN President in response to a question about the circumstances surrounding the death.

According to NaijaCrawl, the late actress collapsed and died while cleaning the chapel of St. Leo the Great Catholic Church in Enugu State's Federal Housing area.

In response to her death, the AGN president stated that an autopsy should be performed to determine the reason for her death.

Rollas questioned how someone slumped inside a church could have bruises on their face on his Instagram page.

He further called for the questioning of friends of the actress, alleging that someone killed her and made it look as though she had slumped.

His post read: “Many questions yet to be answered concerning the death of actress Chinedu Bernard. 1. How can someone who is slumped inside a church sustain bruises on their faces? 2. Who are Chinedu’s parishioner friends? 3. Who are Chinedu’s friends in Enugu, where she is practising her craft? So it is either someone killed her or she took a suicidal substance and decided to die in the church.

An autopsy must be conducted to ascertain the main cause of her death.

The AGN President further admonished actors yet to register with the guild to do so, adding that it is gross irresponsibility not to be up to date with the guild.

Let me use this medium to address actors. "No man is an island. It is gross irresponsibility for any actor to be in an industry such as ours without being up to date with the Actors Guild of Nigeria,” he said.
