Veteran actor, Richard Abiodun Ayoyinka has refuted death rumours currently being peddled against him.
This comes after online mediums whilst reporting the death of Femi Ogunrombi, who stood in as ‘Papa Ajasco’ at a time in the life of the popular longest running series by Wale Adenuga Production, used Richard Abiodun, the other Papa Ajasco’s image.
Ogunrombi was famous for his role in the comedy series, a character he took when Abiodun Ayoyinka pulled out of the show.
Richard Ayoyinka played the role for eight years while the deceased took on the part for two years.
Ogunrombi’s death was announced in a Facebook post on Saturday night by journalist and lecturer Dr Shaibu Husseini.
Dr Husseini’s post read: “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!”
Reacting to the confusion of images, Ayoyinka noted that contrary to the rumor he was very much alive and kicking.
He further thanked his fans and well wishers who showed concern and raised alarm over the mixture of personality.
