Femi Ogunrombi is a Nigerian veteran actor also known as Papa Ajasco.
Late Ogunrombi became popular from his character Papa Ajasco in Wale Adenuga’s comic series.
Husseini Shaibu, a theatre professional, confirmed the tragic news of the gifted actor’s passing on Sunday via his Twitter account.
He wrote, “I have just been reliably informed that the ethnomusicologist, former Music Instructor with #NATIONALTROUPE and one time stand in for the ‘Papa Ajasco’ character on the popular #waleadenugaprod comic series ‘Papa Ajasco’ Mr. Femi Ogunrombi is dead.”
When the previous character, Abiodun Ayoyinka, left the show, Ogunrombi took over and played Papa Ajasco for the duration of the role.
