Veteran Nollywood actor, Kayode Odumosu, popularly known as Pa Kasumu is dead. The actor who was ill for a while, died Sunday March 1st.
According to his son, Tunde Odumosu, who lives in Lagos, Pa Kasumu gave up the ghost at about 12.30 p.m. on Sunday.
He said, “I was called that his condition had deteriorated on Friday but when I called him he didn’t sound so frail. I recall him asking me when I was going to come to Abeokuta and I told him I was coming on Sunday. I was told he was taken to the general hospital in Abeokuta but they had so many emergencies and he couldn’t be attended to.
“So they took him to a private hospital. I was headed to hospital to see him when I was called that he had just passed on. I was already in Abeokuta at the time.
