Media personality Adeyemi Olabode has confirmed that actor Dejo Tunfulu’s death is not an April Fool’s prank.
Adeyemi confirmed this in a phone call with the late actor’s son on Friday morning.
The on-air personality said he called Dejo to debunk the death which he thought was an April Fool’s prank.
His son, however, picked up the call to confirm that indeed his father has died and it was not a prank.
“I saw the post about your demise and hurriedly called your line so you can debunk the ‘April fool’ news, but alas! It was picked by your son. You were so kind and down-to-earth.
“You are one of the few I do lean on in the entertainment industry. I can’t do without disturbing you with my weekly BC messages on Whatsapp. So we won’t be able to speak again Egbon. So our plans won’t be again? Rest in peace egbon Kunle Mark Tokunbo a.k.a Dejo Tunfulu,” he wrote.
Born on May 31, 1972 in Idumota, Lagos Island area of Lagos State, Dejo Tunfulu hailed from Abeokuta in Ogun State.
The comic actor, writer and producer appeared in movies like Hally The Drummer (2016) and Jide Jendo (2020).
