Colleagues of the late actor, Gbadebo Osmond, who died on May 30, 2022, after battling with a terminal ailment, have continued to pay tributes to him.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Yomi Fabiyi described the late Osmond as a jovial and hardworking person. He said, “It is quite sad that we lost him. I had known him for the past 19 years and he was a very jovial, hardworking and friendly person. He was always willing to mingle with everybody and he did not discriminate. One beautiful thing about him was that no matter the harsh words and the banters one threw at him, his reaction would soften one’s mind.
“Even while he was sick, some of us (his colleagues) reached out to him. He even hoped that he would survive the ailment, and he sometimes called me to thank me for checking up on him. He also called to share his progress report. It was quite a painful loss.”
Actor and President of The Golden Move Ambassadors Association of Nigeria, Saidi Balogun, also described Gbadebo as a nice man he worked closely with. He said, “He was a nice and hard-working man. We were close because he was a production manager and actor. May his soul rest in peace.”
Meanwhile, the service of songs and wake for the late actor was held on Friday, June 3, at Ijeshatedo, Surulere, Lagos. His burial service and interment is scheduled to hold at Atan cemetery, Yaba, Lagos, today.
