Madam Elizabeth Evoeme, famously known as Ovularia from the beloved 80s TV sitcom ‘The New Masquerade,’ has passed away at the age of 81.
Born on December 1, 1942, Ovularia’s family confirmed her demise, stating that she peacefully departed while surrounded by loved ones.
In a statement released by the Evoeme Emekalam family, they expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from fans, friends, and colleagues. They also requested privacy during this difficult time.
Ovularia’s daughter, Justina Ngozi Evoeme, residing in London, described her mother’s death as both painful and shocking, expressing the need to come to terms with the loss.
This news follows a previous false alarm in November 2019, when rumors of Ovularia’s passing circulated on social media. At that time, both Ovularia and Chika Okpala, known for his role as Chief Zebrudaya Okoroigwe Nwaogbe, refuted the rumors, affirming her well-being.
Ovularia will be dearly missed by her family, colleagues, and countless fans. May she rest in perfect peace.
