Pastor Taiwo Adeshina (Elegbeje Ado), a beloved icon and cherished son of the Yoruba movie industry, passed away on June 29, 2026, after a brief illness.

Pastor Taiwo was far more than an actor. He was a master storyteller, a cultural torchbearer, and a voice that brought our traditions, humor, and values to life on screen. Through Elegbeje Ado and countless other timeless roles, he touched millions of hearts, inspired generations of filmmakers, and gave Yoruba cinema a distinctive identity. His warmth, humility, and unwavering passion for the craft will echo long after the cameras stop rolling.

May the Almighty God grant him eternal rest and grant strength to his family, friends, colleagues, and the millions of fans who cherished him. Your light, sir, will never dim in our hearts.

Rest in peace, our legend. You will never be forgotten.
