A veteran Nollywood actor, Femi Ogunrombi, popular for his role as the second Papa Ajasco, is dead.
His death was confirmed by a theatre practitioner, Husseini Shaibu, on his Twitter handle on Sunday.
He 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.”
Ogunrombi was famous for his role in Wale Adenuga’s Comedy series Papa Ajasco, a character he took when Abiodun Ayoyinka pulled out of the show.
