Star actor and producer, Bolaji Amusan, has paid a glowing tribute to actress Folake Aliu, aka Orisabunmi, who passed away on Tuesday.
She was 60.
In a statement on Wednesday, Amusan, popularly known as Baba Latin, said Orisabunmi would be sore missed, especially for her oratory power, referring to the way she chanted incantation in plays and videos where she was often in battle with bad elements.
Latin noted:
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?
“It is so sad we lost a priceless jewel, a very rare gem in the Nigerian film industry, Chief Mrs Folakemi Aremu aka Orisabunm to the cold hands of death last night.
“Though good people die every day yet not all of them affirm for us the goodness in humanity the way Orisabunmi did.
“She passed away leaving a legacy of positive experiences for anyone who took the time to know her.
“If oratory is the masterful art, the world will surely miss Orisabunmi for her talent,” he said.
Amusan said that Orisabunmi was an orator who would perfectly chant eloquently with her resounding sonorous voice, adding that the industry would surely miss her.
He said that the burial arrangement would be communicated soon.
