According to Linda Ikeji, Muna needed money for his health problems
but instead of going public to raise money, he told friends he was
planning a stage play to raise money but died before he could do it.
Muna is widely known for his potrayal in x-rated movies and an x-rated photo of himself and Biola Ige, circulated in online media for a while.
