Also, the arts, culture and creative minister, Hannatu Musa Musawa, has expressed deep sadness over the death of Mr Ibu.

The 62-year-old comedian died in a hospital on Saturday after a protracted illness.

The minister, who described the occurrence as “one death, too many” said this was coming just 24 hours after the death of yet another Nollywood comedian, Sisi Quadri.

“I’m deeply shocked at too many deaths occurring at the same time. Mr Ibu was a household name who made families happy throughout his acting career.

“His death at this time is very unfortunate and a sad one for us all in the entertainment industry. We will sorely miss him. May his soul rest in peace,” Musawa stated.
