A veteran Nollywood actress, Sidikat Odunkanwi aka Iyabo Oko, has reportedly passed on.
Her daughter, Bisi Aisha, announced her demise via a Facebook post on Thursday, saying the actress died on Wednesday evening.
On her Instagram page, Daramola-Salako wrote: “and finally we lost her.. rip Iyabo Oko, we did our best but God knows best”
Before her demise, the 61-year-old actress battled with ill-health, which forced her to take a long break from the movie scene.
Sidikat was born on November 15, 1960 in Iwo Local Government Area of Osun State.
Sidikat had stage names including “Iyabo Oko” “Apoti Aje” Sisi Mama”.
Last year, one of her daughters, Olamide, disclosed that her mother was diagnosed with ischaemic stroke about five years ago but kept her health issues away from the public.
Yoruba Nollywood stars including Foluke Daramola, Iyabo Ojo, Bolaji Amusan, Mercy Aigbe and Biodun Okeowo, others had assisted her financially.
