BREAKING: Veteran Nollywood actor, Fabian Adibe, is dead
The Nigerian film industry has lost one of its respected veterans as Fabian Adibe passed away at the age of 85.
Adibe, who earned recognition for his memorable role in the classic film adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, reportedly died in the early hours of Wednesday at about 2:30 a.m.
While full details surrounding his passing are still unclear, the sad news was first made public by celebrity journalist Seun Oloketuyi, who announced it on Instagram.
