Veteran Nollywood actor Sule Suebebe is dead

Veteran Nollywood actor, Dayo Adewunmi, popularly known as Sule Suebebe, is dead.

The Yoruba actor died on Wednesday morning at an undisclosed hospital in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The news of his death was announced by a popular Ibadan-based cleric, Pastor Ademola Amusan, also known as Agbala Gabriel, who had been caring for the actor in recent months.

Announcing Suebebe’s death, Agbala Gabriel wrote on his Facebook page, “It’s a pity, Baba Suebebe died at the hospital this morning. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.”

Suebebe went viral last year when he reflected on his past, admitting that he once led a reckless life during his younger years.

The actor had come out to appeal to Nigerians to forgive him for the reckless lifestyle he had led in his youth while asking for financial help to pay for his medical bills.

He had said;

“Please, I want to ask for forgiveness. Please, I want everyone I have offended to forgive me. Because when I was young, I was a musician. I enjoyed life. I don’t repeat clothes. My house was like a textile factory, to tell you how much I had clothes and shoes.

“I was just living life recklessly. I engaged in minor activities, and I was making money constantly. However, I didn’t have a mentor to warn me about my lifestyle. None of my relatives advised me. So, I saw myself as the Don.

“So, Nigerians, please. Anyone I have wronged, knowingly or unknowingly. Please forgive me. I should prostrate while begging, but my health won’t allow me. Please forgive me, especially all the women I have offended. I know I have stepped on toes regarding the issue of women.”

An undisclosed ailment brought the late actor in touch with Pastor Amusan, a young pastor known for his philanthropy, who through his humanitarian outreach programme on Facebook page raised financial support for the deceased.
