The sad news was made known by movie producer Stanley Nwoko, otherwise known as Stanley Ontop, via his Instagram page. He revealed that the actress left the world on Sunday, June 16th, after battling with leg cancer.
The Yoruba Nollywood industry was in grief a week before to her demise, having lost Dayo Adewunmi, also referred to as Sule Suebebe, a veteran. The actor passed away at an unidentified hospital in Ibadan, Oyo State, early on Wednesday, June 12. Pastor Ademola Amusan, also known as Agbala Gabriel, a preacher from Ibadan who had been tending to the actor’s illness for months, broke the news of his death.
