The actor’s de@th was announced on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, by actress and filmmaker Nkechi Blessing Sunday. The news came on the same day a movie featuring Nwoks as the lead actor was scheduled to be released.
Nkechi Blessing was preparing for the release when news of the actor’s de@th reached her. The development forced her to put the planned release on hold.
In an emotional video, the actress explained that she was at a hospital in Badore, Lagos, where Nwoks had reportedly been confirmed de@d.
She said:
“it took me a lot to do this video because we won’t be dropping the movie again by 5pm. Right now, I’m in the hospital in Badore. I just lost CJay. CJay is dead. I don’t even know where to start.”

His work in recent years showed a growing presence in the Nigerian movie industry, with film records listing appearances across productions released between 2021 and 2025.
