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.
