Seasoned Nollywood actor Dayo Adewunmi, better known by his stage name Sule Suebebe, has reportedly passed away.

The veteran passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning, June 12, in an unidentified hospital, according to reports going viral.

Although the precise cause of his death is yet unknown, many people are saddened by this unfortunate news.

It is important to note that not too long ago, the actor asked for financial support to pay for his medical bills and made a public apology to Nigerians for his previous careless lifestyle.

He had said: “Please, I want to ask for forgiveness. Please, I want everyone I have offended to forgive me. Because when I was young, I was a musician. I enjoyed life. I don’t repeat clothes. My house was like a textile factory, to tell you how much I had clothes and shoes.

“I was just living life recklessly. I engaged in minor activities, and I was making money constantly. However, I didn’t have a mentor to warn me about my lifestyle. None of my relatives advised me. So, I saw myself as the Don.

“So, Nigerians, please. Anyone I have wronged, knowingly or unknowingly. Please forgive me. I should prostrate while begging, but my health won’t allow me. Please forgive me, especially all the women I have offended. I know I have stepped on toes regarding the issue of women.”

Sule Suebebe's passing has left his devoted followers and coworkers in sadness.
