Veteran and popular Nigerian actor, Otunba Ayobami Mudashir Olabiyi, also known as Bobo B, has passed away.
Olabiyi who was the former governor of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) in Oyo state and former national secretary, reportedly died in Ibadan after a brief illness.
Reports say, Olabiyi, who was supposed to be on a movie set in Oyo last month, could not make it due to his deteriorating health. He was admitted to the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, Oyo State, where he later passed on.
The governor of TAMPAN in Oyo state, Bose Akinola, announced Olabiyi’s demise in a statement released by a member of the group on Wednesday October 16.
The statement reads: “I have a directive of the Oyo state TAMPAN governor, Her Excellency Yeye Bose Akinola to announce the death of our TAMPAN national general secretary, Chief Alhaji Musadshir Ayobami Olabiyi ‘Bobo B. May God give his family and the entire TAMPAN members globally the fortitude to bear the loss. Insha Allah, Amen.”
