Mercy Aigbe, others under fire for mourning the death of Lara Odubo
Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe and some of her colleagues are facing criticism for publicly mourning the death of prominent television presenter, actress, and singer Lara Odubo.
Lara Odubo passed away on Saturday, July 28th, 2024. While the cause of death remains unknown, reports indicate that Odubo had been ill for several days prior to her passing.
In the comments, her husband Kazim Adeoti, along with Bimpe Akintunde, Toyin Adewale, and Fausat Balogun, joined her in mourning.
However, some online users expressed displeasure, pointing out that the actress and her colleagues had not shown support for the singer while she was alive.
A 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”.
