Barely a week after prolific moviemaker, Chiko Ejiro succumbed to the cold hands of death, the grim riper struck yet another blow claiming another Nollywood veteran, Orisabunmi (Deaconess Folake Aremu) on Wednesday, Dec. 6 thus throwing the industry into mourning again. This is coming a few months after her husband, another Nollywood veteran, Jimoh Aliu died.
Consequently, for her colleagues in Nollywood, it has been an avalanche of tears, pain and sorrow as they poured out their hearts in emotional tributes for the fallen thespian who passed on aged 60.
We lost a rare gem-Asewotoremecca, actress
We lost a rare gem! This life is truly vanity upon vanity. May your beautiful soul rest in peace. You will be missed. I am in complete shock! Only God giveth and taketh so we can’t question His doings. Adieu Orishabunmi!
She was a great thespian– Jide Kosoko, actor
Orisabunmi came, played her part and role very well. She was very good at role interpretation and she contributed immensely in uplifting the Yoruba movie industry. The way she interpreted her role in Arelu among other movies was legendary! She was humble and has a forgiving spirit. May the Lord give her family the fortitude to bear the loss and may God forgive her, her sins.
