The sad news of Afolabi’s death came on the heels of the death of a veteran actor, Saint Obi, whose death was announced on Saturday.

According to reports, Murphy Afolabi’s body would be taken to his hometown in Osogbo, Osun State for burial today.

It was gathered that an agreement was reached by his son, family members and some Nollywood stakeholders who visited Afolabi’s family.
