Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD), a famous Nollywood actor, has lamented the death of his close buddy, Saint Obi, who died a few hours ago.
RMD and other members of the entertainment business were shocked to learn of the passing of Obi Nwafor, also known as Saint Obi.
Saint Obi died on May 7, following a protracted illness, at the house of one of his siblings in Jos, according to Gist Reel.
RMD came to Instagram to post a photo of Saint Obi and narrate his touching encounter with the departed.
RMD claimed that Saint Obi approached him in the 1990s, seeking assistance in breaking into the film industry, but RMD was not working on any projects at the time.
In RMD’s words;
“The interesting thing then was that Zeb loved him so much he told me I had given him a natural replacement for me in the movies… Then a few days ago, Zik Zulu called, and usually when he calls, it’s something important. He gave the news of St Obi’s demise. We were both in denial and promised each other to find out more details. Then the news hit me again yesterday… even now, it’s still difficult to believe.”
RMD described Saint Obi as a gentleman and dignified. He expressed his condolences to the family Saint Obi left behind, saying;
“Rest in power my brother. My prayers are with the family you’ve left behind. May God give them and us all the fortitude to bear your sudden departure”
