Muftau Oyebamiji, the younger brother of popular Yoruba actor, Quadri Oyebamiji popularly known as Sisi Quadri, has narrated how the movie star died in hospital after a brief illness.

Speaking in Iwo, Osun State before Sisi Quadri was buried in front of his house at Agbowo area of Iwo on Saturday, Muftau said the actor slumped at a movie location on February 19, 2024.

According to him: “We were called that he had slumped while acting at location on 19 February 2024; one of my brothers went to pick him at the location.

“He had sent money to us on 18th for the remembrance of our mother who died one year ago on 22nd of February 2023. He constructed a borehole in memory of our mother.

“We took him to hospital after returning from location. They conducted test on him and they told us that he was having malaria. He was treated. He left hospital on 26th February 2024. He complained of ulcers.”

He added: “After leaving hospital, he was preparing to return to the location but we opposed it. We told him that he needed to rest. We switched off his phone since he was brought back from the location.

“On the 28th, he developed hiccups. He was taken to hospital and treated. But when the treatment yielded no result, he was referred to Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso on Thursday.

“While we were going, he gave us N300,000 and later transferred N1 million into our account in case we needed anything at the hospital. He walked into the hospital himself but later died on Friday.”

Emotions ran high on Saturday when he was buried in front of his house in Iwo, Osun State located at the Agbowo area.

A huge crowd came from far and near to mourn the death of the 44-year-old movie star. (Nation)
