Nollywood actress Ajara Lasisi, popularly known as Aunty Ajara, has died of liver issue.
The petite thespian’s death was announced on Thursday.
The announcer, Nollywood director, Tobi Oladele Teemony, also known as Tee Mony, in a statement shared on Instagram wrote: “With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved actress, Aunty Ajara. She passed on overnight after a long and courageous battle with illness.”
Prior to Aunty Ajara’s demise she was hospitalised for liver-related illness, and about a week ago two of her colleagues solicited for financial assistance from members of the public for her medical bills.
“Good morning to you all. My name is Ridwan Lasisi. I am a brother to Ajara. The doctor confirmed to us this morning that Ajara has passed on.
“All the families, we are using this period to appreciate you all. We appreciate the president and all industry members.
“We also use this opportunity to appeal to those sending money not to send it anymore. The one we are contributing for her sake is no more. Thank you so much. We do not want you to send money into that account again,” her elder brother, Ridwan Lasisi said in a viral video of him.
