A Yoruba actor, Olusegun Akinremi aka Chief Kanran, has sought financial assistance to enable him secure accommodation after he lost his former abode to a fire incident in 2017.
The actor, who celebrated his 50th year in acting in 2015, revealed this in an interview with a popular radio talk show host, Kola Olootu of Lagelu FM 96.7, over the weekend.
In the interview, which was conducted in Yoruba language, the talented actor narrated how his fortunes changed after his house and film equipment were razed in a fire incident. He also narrated how he lost his wife to cancer and other issues.
He said, “Seven years ago, things became bad for me but not as a result of an illness. My house got burnt three years ago and my wife and children deserted me.
The studio which I owned also got razed by fire and I have been sleeping in church for over one year. I have no money to rent an apartment and feeding has been difficult. All of my four cars went with the disaster, some were sold, one got knocked, another got burnt”.
He also shared his account number during the interview which was broadcast live on Facebook and YouTube.
