Nollywood has been thrown into a state of mourning following the sad death of a veteran actress.
Orisabunmi
A sad tragedy has befallen the family of a veteran Yoruba actress.
Folake Aremu, popularly known as Orisabunmi is dead.
The actress died four months after the death of her ex-husband Jimoh Aliu, better known as Aworo.
President of the Theatre Arts And Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) Bolaji Amusan, aka Mr Latin, confirmed she died on Tuesday night.
“She died last night sir,” Mr Latin said.
Another senior TAMPAN member Tunde Ola-Yusuff also announced the death in a Facebook post.
“She left without a goodbye. The sudden death of Mrs Folake Aremu (ORISABUNMI) has been announced.
“Really a shock on everyone. Iya Oosa, may God rest your Soul among the righteous,” Ola Yusuff wrote.
Born on October 10, 1960, in Ilu Ola, Kwara State, became popular in the 80s TV series Arelu starring her husband and others like Fadeyi Oloro.
Jimoh and Folake Aliu had a very rocky marriage.
The two were separated long before Aworo died in September, 2020.
