Femi Ogunrombi, best known as Papa Ajasco, a veteran Nollywood actor, has died.
Shaibu Husseini, a theatrical professional, pronounced Ogunrombi dead when he appeared in Wale Adenuga’s comedy series Papa Ajasco.
Husseini only gave sketchy details, but he did confirm that the veteran actor died on Saturday, January 14, 2023.
I have just been credibly informed that Mr. Femi Ogunrombi, ethnomusicologist, former Music Instructor with the NationalTroupe Of Nigeria, and one time stand-in for the ‘Papa Ajasco’ character on the popular WAP Comic Series ‘Papa Ajasco,’ is DEAD.
“I am informed that the actor, singer, highlifist, and trained nurse whom we affectionately referred to as ‘Uncle Ogurombo’ (not to his hearing) passed away this evening,” he posted on his social media platforms.
Mr. Femi Ogunrombi took over the role of Papa Ajasco when the previous character, Abiodun Ayoyinka, left the show, and he stayed with the role for the duration.
