Justina Ngozi Evoeme, a London-based daughter of Ovularia, expressed her astonishment and sadness at her mother’s death by saying, “I need to get my head around what has happened.”
This news arrives precisely four and a half years after November 5, 2019, the rumor mill began circulating that Ovularia had passed dead. Back then, Churchill Ebhodaghe’s Twitter tweet started rumours about her demise, which she later denied.
In 2019, Ovularia addressed the rumors by confirming that she was not gravely ill and by denouncing the fake stories’ perpetrators, saying that they should be punished.
‘The New Masquerade,’ star Chika Okpala (who plays Chief Zebrudaya Okoroigwe Nwaogbe) also shot down the claims and said Ovularia was OK at the time.
