Actor and Papa Ajasco replacement Femi Ogunrombi is dead.
His death was confirmed in a post by lecturer, writer and theatre practitioner, Dr. Shaibu Husseini.
Husseini wrote: “I have just been reliably informed that the ethnomusicologist, former Music Instructor with the National Troupe Of Nigeria and one time stand in for the ‘Papa Ajasco’ character on the popular WAP Comic Series ‘Papa Ajasco’ Mr. Femi Ogunrombi is DEAD”!
I am told that the actor, singer, highlifist and trained Nurse whom we fondly called ‘Uncle Ogurombo’ (not to his hearing though) passed on this evening”.
Ogunrombi took over the Papa Ajasco role when the former character, Abiodun Ayoyinka pulled out of the show.
