ABN TV reports that the 54-year-old cultural icon, known for his vibrant displays of the Ohafia War Dance, died suddenly on January 17, 2025. While initial reports suggested food poisoning, some sources also mentioned that he had been suffering from high blood pressure prior to his demise.

A large crowd of mourners gathered to pay their final respects, beginning with a wake keep on Monday, April 28, which lasted from 7:00 p.m. until dawn. The funeral proceedings continued Tuesday with the body leaving the Central Hospital Ohafia in a motorcade to his hometown, Elu Ohafia, where it was received by the Ndi Anya Compound.

Kalu Uchendu was widely ired for preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Ohafia people through traditional dance. His ing marks the end of an era and has left a deep void in the hearts of many who knew and loved him.

He is survived by family including his children, grandchildren, and extended relatives.

So unfortunate. Hypertension is a silent killer oh?

Goodbye.
Death is inevitable

Where are those people who are always shouting ...he died because he is too fat...Please, is this one fat too? Orishirishi

Please check your Blood Pressure. We lost a 45-year-old recently in Leeds, UK...one of our alma maters. She was slim, vibrant, and looked great.

I when I saw orji uzor kalu dancing this war dance. He was like a man possessed by only God knows what.

Well only God can judge him ,because entertainment is not reality.....his dance is pure entertainment embedded in cultural history and in display,....but the thing that came to my mind is that he's have left this energic body we are seeing here...God rest his soul

And he'll carry seven human head and be Dancing... Only God know the kain charm he go do to carry that tin. Chai, ohafia is a Bad place o
