A popular Yoruba comic actor, Mr Tolani Quadri Oyebamiji, otherwise known as Sisi Quadri, has died, according to reports.
However, the cause of his death is still unclear as of the time of filing this report.
There are speculations that he briefly fell ill before his passing, though he was seen publicly some months ago with a fellow comic actor, Sanusi Izihaq, who is well-known as Apa or Apankufor.
Sisi Quadri, who died at the age of 44, was recently gaining fresh public attention with his comic act with Apa and others.
His demise has hit the movie industry in Nigeria with shock, with some of his fans mourning his death.
He first gained wide admiration in the 2004 film titled Seniyan Seranko and his last major film was in the recently premiered Anikulapo: The Return of Spectre by Kunle Afolayan. Before his death, he featured in some skits, including with Mr Marcaroni.
