I spoke to Murphy Afolabi 30 minutes before he died” – Actor, Adekola Tijani reveals what he told him

 

Adekola Tijani, better known by his stage as Kamilu, has shared his sorrow over the passing of legendary Nollywood actor Murphy Afolabi, who passed away yesterday after slipping while having a bath.

When asked about his friendship with the late actor, Murphy Afolabi, Adekola Tijanu, who described the actor as someone who doesn't take life too seriously, gave a brief account of their interactions. He disclosed that they spoke only 30 minutes before his untimely demise was reported.

Murphy Afolabi made several comments about dying during their last chat, but Kamilu claimed he was unaware of them because the deceased was still in a lighthearted mood.

“When he was alive, he always want us to do things together. We can’t question God but I’m really touched. He is still young and we started together. I shot his first movie and he was the first person that discovered my acting skills. We have done a lot together, we have fought and settled. I know everything about him.”

’We still spoke yesterday, we spoke around 9:30 and he fell around 10 am. I was called immediately and we drove him to the hospital but he died before we got to the hospital.’’

‘’He called me after his birthday that I should come and take some the clothes he used for his birthday shoot. I told him not to worry but I didn’t know he was passing a message across to me’’.

Yesterday, he sent money for a contribution we always do on Sundays, he sent it early and I questioned his choice to send it early. His response was we don’t know what will happen the next day or in the next minute, I didn’t know he was bidding me farewell’’.
