An autopsy report has revealed that late Nollywood actor and skit maker Odira Nwobu died from poisoning, weeks after his sudden death in South Africa.

Odira passed away while on vacation in South Africa, where he had traveled with friends. Initial reports suggested that high blood pressure was the cause of his death, shocking fans with the suddenness of the loss.

However, new information indicates that an autopsy was conducted, confirming poisoning as the cause of death. The revelation has sparked widespread reactions and raised fresh questions about the circumstances surrounding his passing.

Arthur Scott, Odira’s director, confirmed the authenticity of the autopsy report but admitted that the news has left everyone confused. “We are yet to get the full report, but all of this is confusing because we can’t understand how he was poisoned,” he said.

Following the actor’s death, South African security agencies launched an investigation, with the autopsy ordered to determine the exact cause. Further details from the authorities are still awaited.

Fans have reacted online, with some speculating that Odira may have been at risk even before his trip. Others noted that poisoning does not necessarily indicate foul play and could result from a reaction to something in his system. Many have urged his management to clarify the type of poisoning that led to his death.

The autopsy report has also reignited past controversies. After Odira’s death, friends were previously accused online of taking him on a roller coaster ride despite his poor health—a claim now resurfacing in light of the new findings.
