Veteran Yoruba Actor, Alabi Yellow Is Dead.
Veteran actor and author, Samuel Akinpelu, aka Alabi Yellow, has passed on.
Akinpelu, known for his caustic tongue in movies, was believed to have died earlier today in his home in Ikorodu, Lagos.
According to reports, the actor reportedly died from stroke.
According to a statement released in 2018 by the Executive Chairman of Best Of Nollywood Awards, Seun Oloketuyi, the actor suffered a partial stroke after his wife’s death.

Alabi Yellow appeared in several Yoruba movies and also wrote a book titled, ‘A ba Oko Ku’.
Many of his colleagues have continued to eulogise the late actor as details continue to unfold.
