By Francesca Hangeior.
A long-time veteran of the TV soap, General Hospital, Johnny Wactor, has been shot dead in Los Angeles.
Wactor was killed on Saturday in a robbery that turned horribly wrong.
He died at age 37.
The actor reportedly mistook masked thieves stealing his car for tow truck drivers and intervened before they opened fire, Dailymail reports.
Wactor was said to be leaving his side job at a rooftop bar with a female colleague at around 3:25 am Saturday in the area of West Pico Boulevard and South Hope Street, when he saw the three men, believing he was being towed.
The Los Angeles police department said that one of the three men, all of whom were wearing masks, shot Wactor before fleeing in a separate vehicle.
Paramedics got to the scene shortly after and took him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The masked suspects remain at large and have yet to be identified or described.
Popular Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala, has raised alarm over the presence of armed policemen in her house.
Expressing fear, the actress who captured how the police surrounded her residence very early on Tuesday, stated that she was never invited.
While calling on the public to hold the founder of Grace Nation International Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor responsible if they don’t hear from her again, she accused the clergy man of orchestrating yet another attempt to arrest and imprison her this morning without her legal representative.
“I have police people in my house. I don’t know how they entered my house. They said they’re from Lagos. Chris doesn’t want to leave me alone. He has carried me to three different courts and more than seven police stations.
“They have surrounded my house. If you people don’t see me again, please hold Chris Okafor responsible for my disappearance”, she said.
DAILY POST reports that the fight between her and her pastor began in late 2025, when a video of Chris Okafor’s engagement to Pearl Okafor went viral on social media.
Reacting to the engagement video, Doris called out the clergy man for dumping her to marry a younger lady after years of her sexual relationships with him.
Okafor who did not deny the allegations, allegedly paid Doris $10,000 for settlement.
Announcing the sad incident Mama No Network prays for the recovery of his losses.
Sharing the video of the incident, the actress wrote “Lanko Omo Oba Dubai house got burnt. I pray may God will recover all his losses soon.”
DAILY POST reports that Mama No Network got married to Lanko in 2014 and remarried in 2023 after separation from the actor.

The actress, known for her remarkable performance in the Nigerian series movie “Wura”, made this disclosure in a recent episode of the Curiosity Made Me Ask.
