The baritone-voiced Nollywood
actor who practiced his trade in the Yoruba genre of Nollywood is known for his
portrayal of herbalists and armed robbers passed away.
The popular well-built
Nollywood actor Arakangudu is dead. Arakangudu died between Monday night and
Tuesday morning, February 8-9 of cardiac arrest in Kaduna where he was
undergoing a course.
He was also a movie
producer and has produced many award-winning movies, among them Iya Oko
Bournvita, Agba Osugbo, Aje Olokun, Ogbologbo, Ilu Gangan. He was also a movie
director and directed a couple of movies.
Arakangudu, also known as
Sikiru Adeshina, had gone off the acting radar for some years after suffering
from an undisclosed ailment that made him abandon his Lagos base and relocate
to Oshogbo, his home town.
Arakangudu later made a
return to acting in 2015 with his role as a chief in the palace in a recent
movie titled Ayaba Oosa.
Contrary to the believe
that Arakangudu will be buried today being a Muslim, a close associate of his
Mr Olaolu confirmed his death to Naij.com. He said the late actor died in Kaduna
and because of the distance between Kaduna and Oshogbo Arakangudu will not be
buried today but tomorrow Wednesday, February 10.
On the place where he will
be buried Olaolu said the family are still deliberating on that. The family has
two choices between his home town between Oshogbo and Lagos where he built a
house.
Heya, may his soul rest in peace
