Nollywood actress Abiola Adebayo has extended her heartfelt condolences to her colleague, Bose Alao, who is grieving the painful loss of her husband, former Beninese international footballer Razak Omotoyossi.
Razak passed away in Benin at the age of 38 after reportedly battling an undisclosed illness. The news of his sudden demise shocked both the football and Nollywood communities, leaving fans and loved ones in deep sorrow.
Taking to Instagram, Biola Bayo shared an emotional clip of herself with Bose Alao, offering words of comfort and strength. In her message, she wrote:
“The Lord is your strength, Abikemi 💔 💔 💔 @bosealaoo.
Be comforted, my lady, God is with you and your family. May his soul rest in perfect peace ❤️.”
This heartbreaking moment comes barely weeks after Bose opened up about the complexities of her marriage in a candid interview with Biola Bayo.
She revealed how, during a three-year separation from her husband, she unknowingly became his “side chick.” Bose recounted the painful memory of calling him, only for another woman to answer and taunt her as “an old taker.”
Her marital struggles had long been public. In 2018, Bose shocked fans when she announced the end of her marriage, citing repeated cases of domestic violence.
However, she later issued an apology to her husband for going public, admitting that while abuse did occur, she was not entirely blameless in their troubles. She also revealed that they had sought professional counseling and were working to rebuild their union.
In a later interview, Bose explained her decision to step back from sharing details of her private life, noting that her marriage was still intact despite the challenges. She and Razak went on to raise their four daughters together, keeping much of their family life out of the spotlight.
