Veteran Comedian, Moses Olaiya, popularly known as Baba Sala is dead.
Baba Sala died at the age of 82.
Popular comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka, broke the sad news Tuesday night; “We lost him. What a great loss. An icon is gone”, he wrote on his Instagram page.
The late comedian, who was in limelight for decades, had solicited for funds to further his treatment.
Baba Sala, disclosed his illness at a briefing held on his biography due for presentation on December 4, where he looked frail and spoke with difficulty.
“I need help. Nigerians should help me. I am not dead yet, they should not let me die suffering”, he said.
Baba Sala’s first son, Reverend Dele Adejumo, had said the octogenarian was not suffering from old age but lack of funds for medical treatment, adding that his investments had all been wrecked by poor management.
Adejumo said, “He has investments but they have all been wrecked by mismanagement. He also had a three-storey building in Mushin, Lagos which he had to sell to offset debt incurred when his work, Orun Mooru, was pirated.
