According to reports on The
Punch, a source disclosed that
she died an hour ago but
refused to give details.
On Monday, February 2,
Bukky Ajayi clocked 82-years
and was hosted to a small
celebration by her children at
her home, in Lagos.
Mama Bukky Ajayi as she is
fondly referred to studied
drama at the Institute of
Drama, London. She later
worked a while in London
before coming to Nigeria
where she started a
broadcasting career as an
announcer, presenter and
newscaster at Nigerian
Television Authority.
Ajayi was a part of the now
rested TV series Village
Headmaster. She is seen by
many as a living legend of the
Nigerian film industry. Despite
her advanced age, she still
goes on movie location.
May her soul rest in peace.
