Nollywood actress, Empress Njamah, could not hold back her tears as she watches the corpse of her colleague, Ada Ameh.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that Empress still cannot get over the death of her best friend and colleague, Ada Ameh, who died on Monday, July 18.
As Empress broke down in tears, she shared a video after the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) held a night of tribute in her honour on Thursday, August 18th.
The actress, who is apparently still in deep shock and sadness over Ada Ameh’s death, shared a video via her Instagram page where her corpse was laid in a coffin.
Grieving over her best friend’s death, the actress said seeing Ada Ameh’s’ dead body in a box is one of the hardest things to do.

The late actress was buried in Benue State.
She was born on May 15, 1974, in Ajegunle, Lagos.
It was an emotion-laden atmosphere in Benue State, where Nollywood celebrities gathered to bid farewell to one of their own, Ada Ameh, on Friday morning.
The talented actress, who died in a Warri, Delta State hospital on 17 July, was laid to rest in her hometown, Ogobia, in Otukpo LGA.
Also present at the funeral service were the Deputy Governor of Benue State, Benson Abounu, Benue South Senator, Abba Moro and the AGN president, Emeka Rollas.
Her best friend, Empress Njamah, was captured at the funeral crying uncontrollably.
Last week, the cast and crew of ‘The Johnsons’ held a night of honour to celebrate her life and times.
The event tagged ‘The Johnsons Night of Tribute for Emuakpor’ was held at Freedom Park, Lagos.
‘It’s a wrap.’
Shortly before the late actress was laid to rest, Charles Inojie, one of her closest friends in the industry, penned an emotional tribute to her.
Mr Inojie, her onscreen husband in ‘The Johnsons’, captioned the tribute ‘It’s A Wrap For Ada Ameh’.
He wrote, “There lies a chip in us. Deadpan and ice-frozen. There lies a broken heritage wrapped in a funeral encasement. In that air-tight wooden bed is our naked truth. No matter the differences we nursed, You can never tell how much of us is in them.
“There again is a grim call. A charge to everyone. That none is promised tomorrow. That we may live today as the best of days. We are spreading love beyond the bounds of our comfortable thresholds. Till the twilights dim on the hour not foretold. When the once sonorous symphony fades forever on the morbid horizons of life’s ‘curtain fall’.”
Delivering a sermon at her night of tribute last week, Sylvester Ebhodaghe, a pastor, noted that from his brief encounter with her, the late actress truly loved God.
“It is more about you that are left. How are you running your race? What life are you living? She’s lived her life.
“We are all God’s creation. Nobody is born into this world by chance. Nobody is here without a purpose. Everyone has a purpose, but whether or not you will fulfill that purpose remains to be seen.
“Ada has lived her life. She has fulfilled God’s purpose for her life. Now she has to report back to the one who sent her. Ada is not dead. She is sleeping. But a day is coming. At the sound of the trumpet, Ada will rise,” he said.
