Iya Ile Okan, the veteran Nollywood actress, has passed
away.
Kunle Afod, the actor, announced her passing in a recent
post on his Instagram page.
Sharing a video of her, Afod expressed sorrow over her
demise and prayed for the repose of her soul.
“We finally lost her. May her perfect soul continue to rest
in peace. Iya Ile Okan, it’s a final wrap,” he wrote.
Fans and colleagues have since taken to the comment section
to mourn the actress and offer their condolences.
The actress’ death comes barely a year after Afod visited
her home in Ogun state. She had also opened up about her struggles since
leaving Nollywood.
In August, the actor had revisited her as her health was
deteriorating rapidly. She disclosed that she had fallen ill and could not
afford the medical bills.
Afod also appealed to the public for donations and financial
assistance on her behalf, adding that she needed “God’s intervention”.
Iya Ile Okan had a career that spanned decades. She appeared
in several Yoruba films and was respected for her ability to portray
traditional roles.
Her death comes a few months after ace actor Chief Karan
also passed away.
