VETERAN NOLLYWOOD ACTOR KOLA OYEWO IS DEAD

Veteran Nollywood actor Kola Oyewo, a respected figure in the Nigerian film and theatre industry is dead

He is widely known for his decades-long contribution to stage and screen acting, especially in Yoruba theatre and Nollywood productions. Trained in theatre arts, he built a strong reputation as a disciplined performer and lecturer, mentoring many younger actors who have since become prominent in the industry.

Throughout his career, Kola Oyewo stood out for his commanding stage presence, cultural depth in storytelling, and ability to bring traditional Yoruba characters to life with authenticity. His work helped shape modern Yoruba cinema and preserve indigenous performance art.

His passing would mark a significant loss to the Nigerian entertainment industry and the theatre community that he helped to build and inspire.

May his soul rest in peace.
