A popular Nollywood actor, Samuel Adesanya, popularly called Pastor Ajidara, is dead.
Mr. Ajidara, 62, died of kidney failure in the early hours of Sunday.
His wife, Atinuke Adesanya, who confirmed the death saying the actor died at Mercy Hospital, Onikolobo, Abeokuta, where he was
receiving dialysis treatment.
Mr. Adesanya’s family had two days ago called for financial support

government as a retiree of Ogun State Judiciary. He retired from the
service on July 2, 2015 but was yet to get his retirement benefit till
he died.
Mrs. Adesanya said that her husband’s illness started shortly after an auto crash in 2012.
Until his death, Mr. Adesanya was the Governor of Ogun State Chapter
of Theatre Art and Movie Producers Association of Nigeria, TAMPAN.
Sympathisers on Sunday morning besieged the Abeokuta home of Mr.
Adesanya to commiserate with his family while arrangements were ongoing
to deposit his corpse in the morgue, in preparation for final burial.
