Rollas took to his instagram page on Thursday to disclose the sad development as he wrote: “It is so so sad that our joy was shortlived.
“My first post was out of excitement when we noticed his tingling fingers. Two notable hospitals tried their best to revive him but to no avail.
“God knows the best. We finally lost him.”
The president further declared Thursday as ‘No Shoot Day’ for all Nollywood filmmakers.
