Veteran actress Joke Silva who was at the event Onyeka Onwenu made her last performance, has recounted the moments leading to singer’s collapsed and died later in the hospital.
Silva who was speaking during a chat on WithChude podcast was one of the guests at the at the 80th birthday party of Stella Okolie, where Onyeka Onwenu entertained guests.
“We were at the party together at the same table. At some point when she was going around the room during her performance, she came to me and pulled me up, and we had a bit of a twirl.
“She was singing ‘One Love’ and close to the (end of the) song we both went back to our seats. And it was when I looked across that I heard Shola Momoh saying, ‘she’s not well, she slumped on her chair’. But then she was just unconscious. She had a pulse.
“CPR was performed while she was laid down on the floor. We tried to revive her. We asked for doctors in the house to come and look at her and they did. Later on, I went to the hospital. And she was there for about one and half hours before she finally passed.”
