Veteran actor Yemi Adeyemi, popularly known as Suara, is dead.
He died on Sunday according to a statement released by his family on Monday.
The statement signed by the deceased’s son Adedotun Adeyemi read: “It is with a heavy heart but with total submission to God that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, Oluyemi Lawrence Adeyemi (Suara) who went to be with the Lord on Sunday, September 24, 2023. We are consoled because we know that he has gone to rest. We kindly request that the family be allowed some privacy in this time of grief. More details about the burial will be communicated soon.”
Dancer and Movie enthusiast, Dr. Shuaibu Hussein, said “I have been reliably informed that veteran actor Chief Yemi Adeyemi aka Suara has transited. Popular as Suara, Chief Adeyemi rode to prominence playing Suara in the long rested ‘Oh Father…Oh Daughter” episode of the hugely popular Super Story series by Wale Adenuga productions.
“Baba Suara” as some of us his younger colleagues simply called him, reportedly “acted out” this Sunday. Journey well Baba Suara. You will be sorely missed. Odigba Sir. Journey Well…..”
