Nollywood actress, Doris Chima, has died after battling with cancer.

The news of her death was confirmed by the Chairman of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Lagos chapter, Emeka Rising Ibe.

“She called me last week and pleaded due to ill health not to remove her from the verification exercise I embarked on to ascertain true members of the guild in Lagos.

“Yesterday morning, I got a call that she was dead. Though I am yet to visit the family, it is a great loss for us. I pray for the repose of her soul,” he told The Nation.

Before her death, Chima was a foundation member of AGN and former vice-chairperson of Lagos AGN.

May God forgive and accept her soul into the Garden of Eden, near the throne of whom she seeks and loved!
