Renowned ‘Candyman’ Actor Tony Todd Passes Away at 69
Tony Todd, the iconic American actor celebrated for his chilling role in Candyman and its 2021 sequel, has died at the age of 69.
Todd passed away on November 6 at his Los Angeles home, as confirmed by his representative to Deadline. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
Born on December 4, 1954, in Washington, D.C., Todd studied at the Eugene O’Neill National Actors Theatre Institute and the Trinity Rep Conservatory.
His legacy in horror cinema was cemented with his lead role in the 1992 Candyman, a performance that earned him a Lifetime Achievement Award at the New York City Horror Film Festival.
Beyond Candyman, Todd starred in various popular shows, including 21 Jump Street, The X-Files, and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
He also portrayed Ben in the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead and later reprised his role as the “Candyman” in the 2021 sequel, directed by Nia DaCosta and produced by Jordan Peele.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
