Aproko247 has confirmed the death of a veteran Nigerian actor. The deceased, Chief Francis Daramola, was known in the Yoruba theatre and film industry as Egbeji.
Late Daramola was the husband of late Ramota Daramola, the first popular Orisabunmi in the Yoruba movie industry.
The late veteran actor was famous for his role in ‘Iku Jare Eda’.
Aproko247 confirmed from the Ogun State chapter of the Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners, ANTP, that late Chief Daramola died on Sunday, January 19, 2014 in Ado-Ekiti in Ekiti State.
The deceased served under another veteran actor, Jimoh Aliu.
In November 2013, the Yoruba film industry lost one of its legends, Pa Ola Ogungbe, well known as Papa Paragon, who died in Ogun State. This was almost exactly a year after his elder brother, Pa Akin Ogungbe died.
