So Sad: Veteran actor Adewale Adeyemo is dead

Veteran Yoruba actor, Prince Adewale Adeyemo, died on Monday morning after a brief illness.

His fellow actor, Kunle Afod, confirmed the unfortunate news on his Instagram page.

Sharing a picture of the deceased, Afod wrote, “Hmmmm God you know best RIP Prince Adewale Adeyemo. He passed on early hours of today after a brief illness. God will comfort all his family, friends and colleagues.”

This comes only hours after the Yoruba film industry paid respect to the late Murphy Afolabi, who died on May 14, 2023.

Adeyemo, a veteran actor, was diagnosed with lung, liver, and kidney problems in 2021. He raised donations from the general public and was able to have a successful surgery.

Many Nollywood actors, including Yinka Quadri, Fathia Williams, Kemi Korede, Itele, and others, have expressed their condolences on social media.
