Actor Ernest Asuzu returns after battle with stroke

By Ahmed Boulor

Months after battling stroke, controversial Nollywood actor Ernest Asuzu is back at a movie location doing what he knows best.

Reports say Ernest is gearing up to take up his pride of place in the movie industry but many are skeptical about his chances as he now limps.

Recall that the vocal thespian raised an alarm some time ago that someone in the movie industry was behind his ailment and in an interview he granted Daily Independent recently, he called out Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) President Ibinabo Fiberesima for not visiting while he was in hospital.

“I was in LASUTH for two months, three days battling stroke and for that long, nobody from Nollywood, not even Ibinabo Fiberesima, visited me. And she heard that I was admitted there. My friends told her that I was down with stroke and she pretended as if she didn’t hear. It’s not fair. I’m a human being too” he said in the interview.
