Movie Star Ada Ameh Dies After Mental Health Alarm

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

One of the popular faces on the television screens, Ada Ameh, has died in Delta State some weeks after she raised an alarm of a battle with mental health.

According to reports, the movie star collapsed in Warri on Sunday night and efforts to revive her proved abortive as she reportedly gave up the ghost on her way to the hospital.

Her death is coming nearly two years after she lost her only daughter, Miss Aladi Godgift Ameh, to the cold hands of death after medical surgery.

Ada Ameh is well known for her character as Emu in an award-winning family drama aired on African Magic, The Johnsons.

Last month, a filmmaker accused the actress of failing to honour a production she was paid to play a role in spite of paying for her flight tickets.

After she was called out, Ada Ameh announced that she could not be at the movie location because she was battling mental health.
