Actress Seun Osigbesan, who had played Jennifer and Emu’s daughter in the series, also penned a touching tribute to the late actress
She wrote, “My maama. It’s been extremely hard for me all day. Never ever thought I would be making an ‘RIP’ post of you maama.”
“Tears wouldn’t even allow me type as I am completely devastated and broken. My maama, It’s so hard to even think or imagine you’re no more, not talking of embracing its reality. This news of your demise is a sharp pain in the chest. It is as though a missile just exploded in a city.”
“I kept saying and repeating these words to myself as I wept, ‘it is well’, Never will you be forgotten my maama. NEVER!!! RIP maama.”
The 48-year-old actress died after a long struggle with her mental health.

Before 2020, the actress lost six of her siblings.
On October 20, 2020, she lost her only child, a beautiful daughter whom she gave birth to at age 14.
She started battling with ill-health, and her condition deteriorated after losing another sister in March 2022.
