All is not well with the Nigerian movie industry, especially the Yoruba segment of the sector, and the reason is due to the loss of one of its own, Mr Adeshina Adesanya, otherwise known as Pastor Ajidara.
Few days ago, Nigerians woke up to the news of the actor suffering from kidney ailment and calls were made to well-meaning members of the public to help raise funds for his treatment.
While some were about heeding to the call for financial assistance, they were greeted with death of the actor, which came as shock to many.
One of the colleagues of Pastor Ajidara, Mr Bolaji Amusan, fondly called Mr Latin, announced the death of the actor via his Instagram page.
“And the man (Pastor Ajidara) died few minutes ago,” Mr Latin wrote on his social media page on the popular picture sharing platform.
Pastor Ajidara, before his death on Saturday, acted in several Yoruba speaking flicks. He got his nickname due to the pastoral roles he played in films.
