Omotola Odunsi, a promising Yoruba actress, has passed away, leaving a wave of grief among her colleagues, fans, and friends.
She is remembered for her talent, warmth, and encouraging spirit.
Her colleague, Akinola ‘Segbowe’ Akano, confirmed the news in an emotional Instagram tribute.
He shared screenshots of their last conversation, where Odunsi had reassured him that she was feeling better after an illness.
“Motola! Strange, but I tried checking on you at the wee hours of that morning. You said you were FINE & BACK! This is a rude shock, Omotola! Journey well, sister. God be with your family,” Segbowe wrote.
Ashabi Simple, an actress and mother of singer Portable’s child, also expressed her devastation.
She recalled working with Odunsi on a movie set earlier this year and lamented that their plans for future collaborations would never materialize.
“I’m shocked. You’re one of the best actors I’m rooting for… We promised to feature each other in our next project. You laboured and didn’t wait to reap it,” she wrote.
Odunsi began her acting career in stage productions while attending Olabisi Onabanjo University.
She later trained under popular actor Odunlade Adekola and built a budding career with roles in films such as Lisabi: The Uprising, Officer Adaeze, Amonata, Ayanmo Ire, and Ifedayo.
