Until his death, the veteran actor battled an undisclosed ailment for years.
The Ekiti-born actor rose to prominence during the 80s and late 90s for his trademarked herbalist character.
Africa Today News, New York had some time in 2022 reported that the late actor once called on Nigerians to help him financially in order to take care of his health.
The ailing actor once told Sunday Scoop, ‘Nigerians should help me. Everything needed for me to be in a healthy state requires money.
‘I am getting better with the support of people, but I have not fully recovered. That is why I am pleading with Nigerians across all walks of life who I have impacted in one way or the other to help me.’
He noted that though he had not gotten enough help, he would not cast aspersions on associations in the industry. He said, “Everyone has different things they are battling with. I don’t want it to seem like I am insulting members of our association of actors.
