Popular Nollywood actor/producer, Emeka Rollas, who went into coma after a successful corrective surgery in the United States of America a few days ago, is out of coma and is in good health, according to authoritative News Express sources.

Confirming the report, a close pal of the actor who doesn’t want his name mentioned, told News Express that he has the Nollywood star’s permission to disclose that “Emeka is recovering very well, and thanks friends, fans and well-wishers for their prayer.”

Rollas who is the immediate past national secretary of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), under the Segun Arinze-led administration, had undergone two major surgeries in four years. The first was in 2012, when he was operated upon for Anal Fistula in an Indian hospital called Primus Specialist Hospital, Karo, Abuja. He had a relapse and went for a corrective surgery in the city of New Orleans in America.
