Nollywood has been struck by death once more with the passing of Yoruba actor Yusuf Olorungbebe. After struggling with a chronic illness, the actor passed away.
On Wednesday morning, well-known actress Foluke Daramola revealed Yusuf’s passing on Instagram.
”We lost YUSUF OLORUNGBEBE.
We submit to God’s will.
Thank you everyone!” She wrote.
For months, Olorungbebe was said to be suffering from a chronic illness. He pleaded with Nigerians, the government, and his associates to come to his aid because he would require millions of Naira to heal.
A few days prior, Daramola had appealed to well-meaning Nigerians to band together and provide the late veteran with financial help as his health began to deteriorate.
”l’m here again to plea on behalf of my very esteemed colleague and production manager, Mr Yusuf Olorungbebe, this is his state as of today presently on life support. Please no amount is
too small for him to live, your support will go a very long way in helping us thanks so much everyone,” she wrote.
