Veteran actor, playwright and journalist, Adebayo Faleti is dead. He died at the age of 86 in his Ibadan home.
One of the late actor’s son, revealed his dad died while he was
helping him take his bath after the early morning devotion with his
family members.
The son continued saying his father, after the prayers told them that
he had prayed to God to send someone else to continue his mission as he
was tired and longing for home. He also said he drank pap, before his
death.
“After the morning
devotion, I helped him to the bathroom as I normally did. He said he
wanted God to send someone else to come and complete his work because he
had done all he could do. He also said that he wanted to go home.
Suddenly, I noticed that he was not breathing again. We took him to the
University College Hospital, Ibadan where he was confirmed dead. We
shall miss him greatly.”
Also, the first son Ayoola, said he spoke with his father three days
ago and that he was on his way home when he was told that his father had
passed on.
“In his usual
practice, he called me three days ago and we discussed like father and
son. After I received a call this morning from my brother concerning the
state of his health, I hit the road to come home and see him but I did
not meet him alive. He died before I could reach home. He took care of
all his children and gave us good education. We shall all miss him,”
said Ayoola.
