An enduring era has ended in the Nigerian theatre space as veteran actor, Abdulsalam Sanyaolu, aka Charles Olumo and Agbako, has passed on.
President of Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) , Bolaji Amusan, (Mr Latin) announced the passage on Thursday.
In an Instagram post, Latin noted: “#tampanglobal announces the passing of Pa Charles Olumo Sanyaolu, fondly known as AGBAKO. Details of the burial arrangements will be shared at a later time. Good night father, 25/02/1923 to 31/10/2024.”
At 101, Agbako was still comparatively active to the extent that he was recently spotted on location.
No wonder, his acolytes have started celebrating his exit, with Nollywood actor, Jide Kosoko, saluting him in a post in which he affirmed his death.
“Good night ooo, Baba Charles. a.k.a Agbako, 101 years, ba wasa ba. R I P,” Kosoko wrote.
