According to his cousin, Tony Muonago; aka Tony Oneweek, who is the former minority leader of the Anambra State House of Assembly, the actor has been battling these ailments for some time and this has drained his finances. He added that the family including him, has been footing the medical bills of the actor for years, but has been sapped by the huge hospital expenses and so, the family needs to cry out for assistance from the public.
Tony Oneweek said in a lengthy post that the ailing Amaechi is presently undergoing weekly dialysis at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra State.
