Veteran actress Moji Afolayan has reflected on the passing of her father, legendary filmmaker Adeyemi Afolayan, popularly known as Ade Love, as the family marked the 29th anniversary of his death.

Speaking in a recent interview, Moji said the news of his death came as a shock to the entire family. She noted that there were no warning signs or health concerns before they travelled from Lagos to their hometown in 1996.

“My father wasn’t sick before we left Lagos,” she revealed. “We had gone to our hometown for Christmas, and one of his father’s co-wives was also celebrating an event. It was there that he suddenly became ill.”

According to her, although he was taken to a hospital in Ilorin, Ade Love requested to be moved back to Lagos for treatment. She recalled a chilling moment that stood out to the family.

“He was taken from Ilorin to Lagos. While leaving, he asked his youngest wife to follow him, but she said she wanted to stay back and take care of things. Then he said, ‘What if we don’t meet again?’ We didn’t understand what he meant at the time.”

Moji concluded with heartfelt words about her late father, praising his character and expressing her deep admiration for him: “My father was a very good man. I pray that I come through him in my next life. He was good and caring to the core.”
