Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe and some of her colleagues have faced heavy criticism for mourning the death of prominent Nigerian television presenter and singer, Lara Odubo.
Sunday Telegraph had earlier reported that Lara Odubo passed away on Saturday, July 27th, 2024; although the cause of death remains unknown.
According to reports, Odubo had been ill for several days prior to her passing.
Announcing the death via her official Instagram page, Mercy Aigbe who appeared to have been close to Odubo, expressed her grief and disbelief over the news.
She wrote: “Hmmmm! Life … Still in Denial, Adieu Omolara.”
In the comments, her husband Kazim Adeoti, alongside Bimpe Akintunde, Toyin Adewale, and Fausat Balogun, joined her in mourning.
However, some online users were displeased, pointing out that the actress and her colleagues had never shown support for the singer while she was alive.
An Instagram user, Erri Tinkerat Gold wrote, “Have never seen folks posted her when she was alive. Even if it’s to wish her a birthday blessing, now that she’s dead, everyone is out on social media, giving her last respect. Loruko Jesu oni fi iku lokiki.”
Another user, Big Mozano20 added, “Why are they posting her now? Have never come across her pictures before, but it’s well. RIP”.
