Although, the details given by Husseini is quite sketchy, he however, confirmed that the seasoned Thespian breathed his last on Saturday, January 14, 2023.

“I have just been reliably informed that the ethnomusicologist, former Music Instructor with the National Troupe Of Nigeria and one time stand in for the ‘Papa Ajasco’ character on the popular WAP Comic Series ‘Papa Ajasco’ Mr Femi Ogunrombi is DEAD.

“I am told that the actor, singer, highlifist and trained Nurse whom we fondly called ‘Uncle Ogurombo’ (not to his hearing though) passed on this evening”, he wrote on his social media pages.

Femi Ogunrombi took over the character, Papa Ajasco when the former character, Abiodun Ayoyinka, pulled out of the show and he carried on with the role while it lasted.

Following the mix-up in which case Ogunrombi was taken to be Richard Abiodun Ayoyinka, the lead actor called Papa Ajasco in the soap opera, Ayoyinka  has announced that he is very much alive and kicking.

He further thanked his fans and well wishers who showed concern and raised alarm over the mixture of personality.
