Yoruba actress, Mosun Filani is currently mourning
following the death of her beloved father who died after
battling a brief illness.
According to inside sources, Pa Filani who was born in
1946 just retired as a lecturer from the College of
Education, Ikere Ekiti, where he worked for many years. Pa
falani who is from Ikole Ekiti was said to be supportive in
Mosun's career as an actress. Burial date has not been
fixed because the family is still in shock.
Barrister Kayode Oduoye, husband of Mosun, expressed his
shock on the death of his father in-law. The PDP candidate
for the House of Representatives for Ifelodun/Boripe/Odo
Otin Federal Constituency in Osun state yesterday said:
“It was really painful when I received the news; having
become a member of the family, I share with them this
moment of grief and I beseech the Almighty God to grant
our father eternal rest. May God also grant the family the
fortitude to bear the great loss.
“We indeed mourn the death of our father and I would
surely miss him for his words of wisdom, guidance and
fatherly love but we take solace in the fact that he lived an
eventful life that is worthy of emulation”
