Popular Yoruba movie star, Muftau Adio, famously known as Ajigi jaga is dead.
Ajigi jaga, who is in his early 60s, died on Friday in his Oko-Oba, Agege, Lagos, residence. According to information, his death is as a result of complications following injuries he sustained from a motorcycle accident about two weeks ago.
The actor’s demise has been confirmed by the President of The Golden Movie Ambassadors (TGMA), Saidi Balogun.
Confirming the sad incidence, Saidi described Ajigi Jaga’s death as a big loss to the movie industry, especially to members of The Golden Movie Ambassadors.
According to him, the thespian called last week to explain why he couldn’t attend the group’s last monthly meeting.
“I can recall that he mentioned that his absence was due to injuries he sustained in a motor-bike accident about two weeks ago.
“I was shocked this morning to get a call from one of his children that he had passed on. We shall miss his useful contributions to discussions on how to move the movie industry forward and instill discipline and professionalism in our members. May his soul rest in peace,” he said.
Ajigi Jaga will be remembered for always playing tough in movies, earning him the alias, Broken Bottle. He recently got married to a young bride, Taiwo Hassan.
According to information, his remains will be interred in his village near Wasimi, along Abeokuta, Ogun State today according to Islamic rites.
