Veteran Yoruba actor, Ayobami Olabiyi, fondly known as "Bobo B," has passed away after a prolonged battle with illness. The respected Nollywood figure died on Wednesday in Ibadan, Oyo State, where he had been receiving treatment at the University College Hospital (UCH).
Before his death, Olabiyi had reportedly been unable to move or speak due to his deteriorating condition. His passing was confirmed in a statement by the chairman of the Oyo State chapter of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), Bose Akinola, late Wednesday.
“We announce the death of our TAMPAN National General Secretary, Chief Alhaji Musadshir Ayobami Olabiyi ‘Bobo B.’ May God give entire TAMPAN members globally and his family the fortitude to bear the loss,” Akinola wrote.
Olabiyi's passing marks the loss of a significant figure in the Yoruba movie industry, where he contributed greatly to the growth of indigenous film production.
