Joke Silva narrates last moments with Onyeka Onwenu

Veteran Nollywood actress, Joke Silva, has detailed her last moments with late singer Onyeka Onwenu.

DAILY POST reports that ace singer Onyeka Onwenu died in July 2024, after she collapsed at the 80th birthday party of CEO of Emzor Pharmaceuticals, Stella Okolie.

She was buried on August 30 at the Ebony Vaults in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.

During her latest interview with media personality, WithChude, Joke Silva narrated her final moments with Onwenu.

Silva, who witnessed the incident, disclosed that Onwenu died nearly two hours after she collapsed and not immediately.

“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.”
