Prince Adewale Adeyemo, a well-known veteran actor in Yoruba movie circles, has passed away. This sad news comes at a time when the film industry is still grieving the loss of their colleagues, Saint Obi and Murphy Afolabi, the latter having passed away just a week ago in Lagos.
Adeyemo had been battling various illnesses since 2021 and received support from billionaire businessman Otunba Mike Adenuga, who financed the actor’s surgery. However, he sadly succumbed to death on Monday morning.
Affectionately called “Baba Igbomina” due to his roots in Kwara State, Adeyemo had a career spanning over three decades in the movie industry. He was well-known for his comedic roles.
