Veteran Nollywood actor Ojo Arowosafe, popularly known as Fadeyi Oloro, has died at the age of 66.
It was gathered that the Ekiti-born actor died on Tuesday afternoon after a long battle with kidney-related ailments, among other things.
He was born on September 15, 1957, in Igbara Odo, Ekiti, and became a household name during the cinematic era for his antagonistic roles in Yoruba movies accompanied by his ever-vibrant recitation of chants and incantations.
Arowosafe, who played a lead role in the movie ‘Arelu’ in the 80s, had last month, through his daughter on an Instagram live session with popular OAP Daddy Freeze, begged Nigerians for help after the actor was served a six-month eviction notice over unpaid rent.
UK-based Nigerian pastor Tobi Adegboyega of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church,later donated N3 million for Arowosafe’s treatment and other outstanding bills.
