Richards was seen in a video last begging for assistance from members of the
public, after having suffered from an unknown illness for a while now.
The
once very vibrant actor who was a force to be reckoned with in the 1990s and
early 2000s of Nollywood, suffered from a number of ailments, and getting funds
for his treatment proved difficult due to his financial difficulties.
In
2021, some of his colleagues and friends raised money to help pay for his
treatment.
Richards
made his acting debut in 1977, when he and Hubert Ogunde represented Nigeria at
the Second World Black and African Festival of African Culture (FESTAC) an he also
appeared in films such as ‘Sango,’ ‘Mirror in the Sun,’ ‘Betrayal by Love,’
‘Fighting Machine,’ and many others.
He
and his former wife, Florence, Florence Richards, a fellow colleague parted
ways as their marriage could no long work due to irreconcilable differences.
