It was confirmed by her colleague, Gloria Anozie-Young, on her Facebook page.
She passed away on Tuesday after battling endometrial cancer.
Anozie-Young wrote, “With a deep sense of loss but total submission to God Almighty, we regret to announce that IFEY ONWUEMENE had gone to rest with the Lord.
“IFY ONWUEMENE was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Her womb was removed, but she has been battling the ailment for many years now.
“In 2019, even after eight sessions of chemotherapy, the doctors told her she had reached stage 4. However, we are not sure if she was given the wrong diagnosis or being treated with the wrong chemo, because she still feel pains on her upper abdomen and her tummy was bloated.
“Ify spent more than N10m, being helped with donations by her other friends and fellow actors. A GoFundMe account was opened for her, but it did not yield much. She had to go for draining every two weeks at a cost of N280,000, but only 3 litres of liquid can be removed at a time so that her heart is not affected.
“IFY has gone finally to rest with the Lord today 25th May 2021. May her jentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.”
Anozie-Young stated that burial arrangements would be released by the family of the deceased
