Popular Nollywood Yoruba actor, Odunlade
Adekola, on Saturday described as surprising the rumour that armed
robbers stormed his home in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Friday night and
killed him.
Social media platforms were awash with
the rumour of his death on Saturday with his fans and lovers of Yoruba
movies making enquiries to confirm the rumour.
Speaking with our correspondent on the
phone, Adekola laughed heartily while refuting the claim, noting that he
was shocked to hear the rumour of his death.
He said, “ I heard the rumour just the
way everybody did. I was called by a friend on Saturday who told me that
the rumour of my death was all over social media platforms especially
Facebook. I later discovered that there is a Facebook page where the
discussions took place with many persons making comments about my
rumoured death.
“I do not own the Facebook account and
do not know how it came about. My Facebook page does not allow for
interaction. Fans and friends can only make comments on the pictures
posted there. My Facebook account is Odunlade omo Adekola while my
Instagram account is Odun omo Adekola.”
Asked if he knew why there was such a
rumour about about him, the tall, talented role interpreter said,
“Honestly, I do not know. I find it really surprising. I thank God
Almighty God for continually keeping me. I also appreciate my fans both
home and abroad for the love shown to me.”
In the past, another popular Nollywood
Yoruba actor, Mr. Bolaji Amusan, otherwise called Mr. Latin, who is also
based in Abeokuta, was rumoured dead.
