Just when the Nigerian movie industry is trying to come to terms with the death of Adebayo Faleti , Nollywood has been thrown into mourning following the death of Rotimi Ayinde a.k.a Abu Olododo.
A colleague of Ayinde, Waheed Ijaduade, broke the news of his death to the attention of the public in a statement posted on Facebook on Monday.
Ijaduade termed Ayinde’s death as sudden. He said he had a short discussion with the deceased on Sunday night.
According to him:“We chatted for a while on that night. He even asked me about the outcome of a summit that I attended in Lagos. We talked about other things and we agreed to meet on Monday or Tuesday before I went to bed. I went to his residence to see him the following day (Monday) as agreed only to learn that he was dead.
“He never told me that he was sick. He appeared to be quite healthy when I spoke with him on the phone. His death remains a mystery to me” Ijaduade said.
He was aged 51 and married with four children. He has been buried according to Muslim rites.
