In a recent media interview, Ifeoluwa Gbadegeshin, a popular Yoruba movie actor widely known as Mr Fresh, has shed light on the true circumstances surrounding the untimely passing of fellow actor Murphy Afolabi. Ifeoluwa, who was present at Murphy’s burial, revealed that the initial reports of Murphy hitting his head on a surface were not accurate. Instead, he disclosed that those who were with Murphy at the time claimed that he vomited and gradually collapsed.
According to Ifeoluwa, Murphy had a movie production planned for the upcoming weekend. In preparation for the shoot, Murphy had instructed some crew members to contact other actors who would be joining him on the set. While Ifeoluwa was present, Murphy went to the bathroom to take a bath and later emerged to have a bowl of pap (a Nigerian porridge-like dish). Shortly after consuming the pap, Murphy started vomiting and gradually lost consciousness. Despite all the efforts made to save his life, it was tragically too late.
During a video statement, the actor revealed, “Initially, we believed he had hit his head on a surface, but eyewitnesses stated that he vomited and gradually collapsed. He had planned a movie production for the upcoming weekend and had instructed his crew to inform other actors joining him on set to prepare for the location. Afterward, he went to the bathroom to bathe, followed by consuming pap. Unfortunately, he began vomiting shortly after. Despite all the efforts exerted to save his life, it was regrettably too late. May God grant him forgiveness for his sins.”
