Thediscovererng.com reports that this tragic loss follows closely on the heels of comedian Aphrican Ace and his wife’s devastating loss of their premature newborn son, who succumbed to a bacterial infection.
The Nigerian entertainment industry is reeling from these consecutive losses, with skit maker Akika (Olagunju Solomon Olamide) having lost his son on Father’s Day last year.
