Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola-Salako says she got carried away by her new business venture and was unable to check up on the veteran actor Baba Legba before his demise.
The actress stated this in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
She wrote: “…I spoke with baba just last week but I was too busy with my Restuarant to check on him like I always do cos he told me he was under the weather, quite unfortunate I couldn’t bade him goodbye b4 he gave up the ghost, quite unfortunate we lost him…. I feel kinda guilty I didn’t check up on him when he called… 😭😭its well 😢😢 RIP Baba, sun re o baba.”
Baba Legba born Yekini Omobolanle died early Monday in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The late Baba Sala’s son Adejumo Boisala first broke the news on Facebook.
“He joined Alawada Theatre Group in 1974 and was playing comic roles along with Baba Sala, sometimes he played Babalawo, Police officer but most time one comic role to another,” he wrote.
“He is a friend of the family and supporter of my Daddy till his death. He used to be called Sunday Ikubolaje then before he went to Mecca and he turned Muslim. Personally, he contributed a lot to my success too. May your soul rest in perfect peace, baba.”
The actor was buried later on Monday according to Muslim rites.
