The Association of Nigeria Theatre Arts Practitioners (ANTP) has debunked rumours of the death of veteran Yoruba actor Olalere OsunPaimo, popularly known as Baba Eda Onile Ola, clarifying that the widely circulated claims on social media are false.
In an official statement signed by its National Public Relations Officer, Adejonwo Oluwafemi, the association said, “We would like to inform the public that reports circulating on Facebook about the passing of Chief Olalere OsunPaimo (MFR) are false,” adding, “We have confirmed with Baba Eda Onile Ola’s wife that he is alive and in good health.”
ANTP urged Nigerians to exercise caution when sharing information, warning that “we urge everyone to verify information before sharing to avoid spreading misinformation.”
