The humorous actor cum broadcaster reportedly died over the weekend. Baba Sabiko’s death came as a shock according to his colleague, Ademola Aremu who wrote on his Facebook page…

“I couldn’t believe it until I was at the hospital where he passed away and saw his corpse. I saw him and his wife last Friday and as usual cracked some jokes together.”

“Abiodun Aremu, Baba Sabiko, my Surname sake; one of the best comedians in the entertainment industry. He normally called me Uncle Demoo (though far far older than me), and I would reply Ba Sab. Painful but it is well.”

Rest in peace “BABA SABIKO”.

For those who don’t know, before his demise, Baba Sabiko was a comedian, theatre artiste, Master of Ceremonies (MC) script-writer, film producer, singer and promoter.

He had featured in over 40 top Yoruba movies, which include Ija Ominira, Ija Orogun, Bukola Omo Daddy, Ija Agba Meji, Igbanladogi amongst many.
