Fans blame Nollywood for his death:

The actress posted a picture of Muna on Instagram with a caption

‘Yes, Muna might have wanted or lived a private life but people knew he was sick, people knew his health condition and yet what did they do, some tried but if they had cried out to the world MUNA might have gotten help. We are just colleagues NO REAL FRIENDS! Rest In Peace MUNA.’

Ibinabo defends Nollywood:

The AGN president Ibinabo Fiberesima who confirmed his death in a phone conversation with YNaija. has however cleared the air on the fact that the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria couldn’t come to his aid.

“He was a private person, he didn’t tell us he had problems so there was no way we could have helped….” she told us.

Some of the actors also expressed their disgust over the unnecessary confusion created about the actor’s death earlier in the day via a fake Twitter handle.

The Fake twitter handle hoax:

It was a day of total chaos on social media with conflicting reports emanating from different sources regarding Muna’s death.

First were unconfirmed reports that the actor had died in the evening of Sunday, January 18, 2014 only for a Twitter user in the actor’s name tweeting to counter claims that he was dead.

The user finally surrendered in the early hours of today, Monday, January 19, 2015 confirming its fake status.
