Nollywood Actor Solomon Akiyesi Laid to Rest in Edo State Amid Low Turnout of Industry Colleagues

Nollywood actor Solomon Akiyesi has been laid to rest in Ososo, Akoko-Edo Local Government Area of Edo State.

According to reports, the burial ceremony was conducted in a quiet and uneventful atmosphere, with little public attention and a noticeably low turnout from members of the Nigerian film industry.

Sources indicate that the absence of many Nollywood colleagues at the funeral has sparked discussions among fans and observers, with some expressing concern over the level of support shown to the late actor during his final rites.

The late Akiyesi, who was known for his contributions to Nollywood productions over the years, was interred in his hometown following a private burial arrangement attended by family members and close associates.

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from Nollywood guilds regarding the turnout at the burial.
