The comedian’s emotional revelation has sparked reactions from fans and colleagues, with many recalling his significant contributions to Nigeria’s comedy industry during his peak.
Agwu rose to prominence through his energetic comedy performances and music-comedy projects, including his popular “Handwork” track released in 2006.
His latest revelation offers a glimpse into the personal struggles behind the public image of a comedian who once commanded major stages across Nigeria and beyond.
