The Yoruba actor reportedly passed on after battling a chronic ailment.
His death was confirmed on Wednesday morning by popular actress Foluke Daramola on her Instagram page.
She wrote, ”We lost YUSUF OLORUNGBEBE
We submit to God’s will.”
His death comes two days after actress Sharon Okpamen died from complications after childbirth.
Olorungbegbe was critically ill for months. He solicited financial support from Nigerians, the government and his colleagues as he reportedly needed an undisclosed amount of money to recover.
Prior to the confirmation of his death, Daramola had a few days ago called on Nigerians to rally round and offer financial support to the movie maker due to his failing health.
”l’m here again to plea on behalf of my very esteemed colleague and production manager, Mr Yusuf Olorungbebe, this is his state as of today presently on life support. Please no amount is too small for him to live, your support will go a very long way in helping us thanks so much everyone,” she wrote.
