Actors Guild Nigeria's National Secretary Abubakar Yakubu confirmed the death of Adigwe in an interview with Premium Times on Wednesday, April 24.
He, however, said the Guild awaits more details about his death and burial arrangements.
Zulu Adigwe, a first-class graduate in Theatre Arts at the University of Ibadan, became a household name in 1987 after playing Mr B for seven years in the sitcom Basi and Company.
