By Mc O one Chat News reports

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Onyeka Owenu, a luminary in the Nigerian entertainment industry, whose demise has sent shockwaves across the nation. Born on January 17, 1952, the illustrious singer, actress, media personality, and politician, left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of Nigeria.

According to eyewitness accounts, Onyeka Owenu's untimely death occurred on Tuesday evening, shortly after her stellar performance at the birthday celebration of Stella Okoli. The eyewitness recounted the tragic events, stating, "It is very sad. Onyeka Onwenu just performed at the birthday of Mrs. Stella Okoli today, and after performing, she slumped. She was taken to Reddington Hospital and she couldn't make it."

Onyeka Owenu's rise to fame was meteoric, following the release of her groundbreaking musical album, 'Onye Bu Odenigbo.' Her subsequent albums and film appearances cemented her status as a household name, earning her a permanent place in the annals of Nigerian entertainment history.

Her simplicity in dressing and effortless charm endeared her to fans across the nation, and her contributions to the Igbo cultural heritage will be deeply missed. As Nigeria mourns the loss of this cultural icon, we take solace in the indelible legacy she leaves behind.

Rest in peace, Onyeka Owenu. Your memory will continue to inspire generations to come.
