Veteran Nollywood actor, Olumide Bakare, has passed on after a failed battle with a heart and lung disease.
His personal assistant, who said he died in the early hours of Saturday on his way to the hospital, announced his death.
Mr. Bakare has been sick for over a year and reports say aside from suffering low blood flow into the heart, there were also indications of a lung-related disease.
He suffered cardiac arrest earlier in the year and was rushed to the emergency unit of University College Hospital where he was placed in intensive care.
