Veteran actor, Femi Ogunrombi aka Papa Ajasco, passes on

Veteran Nollywood actor, Femi Ogunrombi, is dead.

Shaibu Husseini, a Theatre practitioner, announced this in a tweet on Saturday, January 14, 2023.

Ogunrombi is popular for his role in Wale Adenuga’s Comedy series, Papa Ajasco, a character he took when the former character, Abiodun Ayoyinka, pulled out of the show.

He wrote, “I have just been reliably informed that the ethnomusicologist, former Music Instructor with #NATIONALTROUPE and one time stand in for the ‘Papa Ajasco’ character on the popular #waleadenugaprod comic series ‘Papa Ajasco’ Mr. Femi Ogunrombi is dead."

Ogunrombi was well-known for his part in Wale Adenuga's comedy series 'Papa Ajasco;' he assumed the role when the previous performer, Abiodun Ayoyinka, left the show.

He was widely loved for his unique comedic tropes.

May his soul rest in peace.
