Veteran Nollywood actress, Sola Awojobi Onayiga, is dead.
The gap-toothed actress, popular for playing Ireti in the now-defunct family drama, Fuji House of Commotion, died on Monday.
Her death was announced by a renowned movie critic and film specialist, Husseini Shaibu, via his Twitter page.
Shaibu said, “Just learnt that the accomplished Stage and Screen Actress and Fellow of Theatre Arts Auntie Sola Awojobi Onayiga passed on today.
“Auntie Sola is best known for living delightfully the role of Ireti aka Cooking practicals in the defunct TV sitcom ‘CHECKMATE’! Journey well, Ma!”
Onayiga’s death is coming few hours after the passage of another Nollywood veteran, Ada Ameh was announced this morning. Their fans will sorely miss their hilarious roles.
