Omotola Odunsi, the fast-rising actress famous in the Yoruba film industry, is dead.
Akinola ‘Segbowe’ Akano, Odunsi’s colleague, confirmed her
demise in a tribute post via Instagram.
The actor shared photos of Odunsi alongside screenshots of
their last conversation, in which he checked up on her and she responded that
she had been unwell but was feeling better.
Segbowe described her passing as “a strange, rude shock”,
implying that she died immediately after he checked up on her. He also
expressed his condolences to her family.
“Motola! Strange but I tried checking on you at the wee
hours of that morning. You said you were FINE & BACK!,” he wrote on
Thursday evening.
“This is a rude shock, Omotola! Journey well, sister. God be
with your family.”
Some of her colleagues in the Yoruba movie industry also
took to social media to pay their last respects.
Ashabi Simple, the baby mama of singer Portable, mourned
Odunsi on Instagram, recounting their recent encounter on a movie set and the
unfulfilled plans they had to work together on future projects.
“I’m shocked. You’re one of the best actors I’m rooting for.
I saw you earlier this year when I was shooting Deputy and we promised to
feature each other in our next project, but now u laboured and didn’t wait to
reap what life sef,” she wrote.
“I remember nights you do chat to give me hope and advice,
most of your wishes we talked about didn’t even come true. GOD, we can’t
question you, death is deep.”
Odunlade Adekola also expressed sadness over his trainee’s
demise, saying, “Jesus Christ. RIP Omotola”.
Odunsi began her acting career by performing in stage dramas
during her 200-level year at Olabisi Onabanjo University, before meeting actor
Adekola at a training audition, where she was selected and trained under his
guidance. She graduated in 2023.
Since then, she featured in several films including ‘Lisabi: The Uprising’, ‘Officer Adaeze’, ‘Amonata’, ‘Ayanmo Ire’, and ‘Ifedayo’.
