The Nigerian entertainment industry is coming together to support Yoruba star, Lekan Olatunji, as he mourns the heartbreaking loss of his beloved wife. The actor announced the tragic news on Friday, leaving fans and colleagues in shock and grief.

In a touching tribute, Olatunji reminisced about his 16-year journey with his late wife, describing her as a pillar of strength who brought him closer to God and helped him stay focused. He tearfully recounted her promise to care for their children, a promise that tragically remained unfulfilled as she was taken away by death.

Clearly deeply affected by his wife’s passing, Olatunji expressed his undying love for her and made a heartfelt plea for her not to leave their children behind. The Nollywood community immediately rallied around their grieving colleague.

Tope Alabi wrote under the comment section, “Jesus will show up for you and take care of the children. My condolences.”

Prominent stars such as Tawa Ajisefinni, Mosun Filani, Folorunsho Adeola, Lola Magret, Toyin Tomato, and Bimpe Akintunde offered their condolences in the comments section of Olatunji’s post. They provided words of comfort and strength during this challenging time.

This tragic loss follows a challenging year for Lekan Olatunji, who survived a serious accident not long ago. During her difficult times, fellow actress Bimbo Akisanya expressed her gratitude for his recovery and the unwavering support he had extended to her. The tight-knit Nollywood community continues to show its solidarity and compassion in the face of adversity.
