Nollywood actress Ajara Lasisi, popularly known as Aunty Ajara, is dead. Her death was announced on Thursday by Nollywood director, Tobi Oladele Teemony, also known as Tee Mony, in a statement shared on Instagram.
Teemony said the late actress received “immense love, prayers, and financial support from kind-hearted people across the world” during her illness. He also urged members of the public to stop sending donations to the account previously shared for her treatment, stating that financial contributions were no longer required.
The announcement came about a week after Teemony and other nollywood figures like Ronke Oshodi Oke appealed for urgent financial assistance for the actress, saying her condition had worsened despite ongoing treatment and support from colleagues and well-wishers.
Earlier reports indicated that the small-screen actress was pregnant and battling a liver-related illness, with colleagues saying she had been placed on oxygen in hospital as her condition deteriorated.
