Veteran Nollywood actor Duro Michael has died at the age of 67 after a prolonged battle with a terminal illness.
His death was announced by Nollywood producer Stanley Ontop in an Instagram post, where he mourned the late actor and lamented the lack of support among practitioners in the film industry.
“Duro Michael has kicked the bucket.
“He died a few days ago after battling a terminal illness, may his soul rest in peace.
“We no dey help ourselves in this Nollywood, and it’s too bad,” Ontop wrote.
In 2022, Michael, who had been bedridden, received ₦5 million from Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin for medical treatment.
However, his condition later deteriorated, and by 2024 he publicly appealed for assistance and more acting roles.
Duro Michael was known for his roles in classic Nollywood films such as Midnight Love (2003) and The Guilty (2006).
His passing adds to the growing list of industry veterans lost in recent years.
