Veteran Nollywood actress Moji Afolayan has spoken about how her father, iconic filmmaker Adeyemi Afolayan, better known as Ade Love, died in 1996—NaijNaira can report.
In an interview, Moji recalled that the late actor showed no signs of illness before the family travelled to Kwara State for the holidays. “My father wasn’t sick before we left Lagos,” she said. “We had gone to our hometown for Christmas, and one of his father’s co-wives was also celebrating an event. It was there that he suddenly became ill.”
Moji explained that Ade Love was first taken to Ilorin for treatment but insisted on being moved to Lagos to see his doctor. Sadly, his health deteriorated, and he died on December 30, 1996.
“He was taken from Ilorin to Lagos. While leaving, he asked his youngest wife to follow him, but she said she wanted to stay back and take care of things,” Moji recounted. “Then he said, ‘What if we don’t meet again?’ We didn’t understand what he meant at the time.”
Moji described her father as loving and selfless, adding, “I pray that I come through him in my next life. He was good and caring to the core.”
