Prominent Nollywood actor, Femi Ogunrombi, is dead.
Ogunrombi, who acted Papa Ajasco in the Wale Adenuga Productions TV series: “Papa Ajasco,” reportedly died on Saturday.
A lecturer, writer and theatre practitioner, Dr. Shaibu Husseini, confirmed the development on Saturday.
Dr. Shaibu said: “I have just been reliably informed that the ethnomusicologist, former Music Instructor with the National Troupe Of Nigeria and one time stand in for the ‘Papa Ajasco’ character on the popular WAP Comic Series ‘Papa Ajasco’ Mr. Femi Ogunrombi is DEAD!
“I am told that the actor, singer, highlife and trained Nurse whom we fondly called ‘Uncle Ogurombo’ (not to his hearing though) passed on this evening.”
Ogunrombi took over the character Papa Ajasco when the former character, Abiodun Ayoyinka, pulled out of the show.
