Decorated Nollywood actor, Femi Ogunrombi (aka Papa Ajasco), is dead.
Veteran theatre practitioner, Husseini Shaibu, disclosed this on his Twitter handle on Sunday.
Shaibu wrote, “I have just been reliably informed that the ethnomusicologist, former Music Instructor with #NATIONALTROUPE and one time stand in for the ‘Papa Ajasco’ character on the popular #waleadenugaprod comic series ‘Papa Ajasco’ Mr. Femi Ogunrombi is dead.
“I am told that the actor, singer, highlifist and trained nurse whom we fondly called ‘Uncle Ogurombo’ (not to his hearing though) passed on this evening (Saturday).”
Ogunrombi featured prominently in Wale Adenuga Productions’ comedy series, Papa Ajasco.
