Nollywood actor Ali Nuhu has mourned veteran actor Sadiq Daba saying the industry has lost a great icon.
The 46-year-old shared a picture of Daba in an Instagram post on Thursday.
“May Jannat be your final abode Alh Sadiq Daba, ameen. We lost a great Icon,” he wrote.
Daba died on Wednesday evening after falling critically ill at his Marwa Garden residence in Alausa, Lagos State.
President of Women Arise, Joe Okei-Odumakin, was quoted by PUNCH as saying: “His wife just called me now and we spoke. She said that she was at the morgue. I asked what happened and she told me that about a week ago, he had been ill but he had been home and that he went to the hospital late afternoon today.
“She explained that he had not been eating much and that as soon as they got to the hospital, they started conducting different tests on him including COVID-19. They put him on oxygen but he died around 8:30 pm.”
The actor is survived by his wife Bolaji Daba, children and other relatives.
