‎I will never forget the kindness shown to me by the renowned Nigerian actor, Segun Remi, also known as Chief Kanran. Following the passing of my beloved wife, Olori Solape Christianah Abake Abolarin, he paid me a condolence visit with a group of actors on June 14th in Ibadan. His gesture brought solace during a difficult time.

‎Recently, Segun Remi planned to visit me again in OKE ILA ORANGUN with a group of distinguished actors. However, fate had other plans. He sent me an audio message yesterday (Thursday August 14, ) sharing his ill health and hospitalization.

‎ I immediately prayed for his recovery and urged him to prioritize his health.
‎Tragically, Segun Remi passed away today. I’m shocked and saddened by the news. May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacy as a talented actor and compassionate individual continue to inspire us all.
