Popular Yoruba actress, Moji Olaiya, is dead.


The actress died in a Canadian hospital early Thursday morning where she had gone to deliver her second child.

According to reports, Olaiya died of complications arising from child delivery.

It was gathered that days after the delivery of her new baby, she fell ill and was asked to remain at the hospital, where she later died.

Olaiya was raised by veteran jazz singer, Victor Olaiya. She was said to have adopted the name Olaiya to honour the musician who raised her since she was young.

A source close to the late actress confirmed to newsmen that Olaiya could not raise enough money for her treatment before she died.
