The sad news was shared on Tuesday by fellow actor Tony Akposheri via Instagram, where he expressed deep shock over the loss of someone he described as both a colleague and a close companion.

Akposheri revealed that he had only recently spent time with Ofor during the New Year celebrations. According to him, they shared laughter, reflected on life, and even talked about future plans—making the news of his passing even harder to process.

In his tribute, he spoke emotionally about their last moments together, recalling how hopeful and full of life the late actor was at the time.

Beyond his on-screen presence, Ofor was remembered as a warm, lively, and humorous individual whose personality left a lasting impression on everyone around him. Akposheri noted how difficult it is to accept that someone he had spoken to not long ago is now gone.

He paid his respects by celebrating the life Ofor lived, highlighting the joy he brought to audiences and the legacy he leaves behind.

Ofor became a household name through his role as Clarus in New Masquerade, one of Nigeria’s most beloved television comedies that aired on the Nigerian Television Authority in the 1980s. His character was widely admired and remains memorable to many Nigerians decades later.

As of now, details surrounding the cause of his death have not been made public.
