Barely 24 hours after the news of the death of Nollywood icon, Saint Obi, seeped into the air, the Nigerian movie industry has been hit with another tragic news.

Popular actor and filmmaker, Murphy Afolabi, is dead. He reportedly passed on after falling down in the bathroom at his house in Ikorodu, today.

The filmmaker who made his foray into the movie industry under the guidance of Yoruba movie icon Fasasi Olabankewin, fondly called Dagunro in 1998 celebrated his 49th birthday just a few says ago.

Murphy had a Diploma in Theatre Arts and Film Production from Osun State Polytechnic in Osun State and graduated in 2001. He was a father of three, two boys, and one girl. He has featured in more than 50 movies. His colleagues have also taken to their social media account to pay tribute to him.

May his soul find repose. Amen
