Veteran Nigerian actor, Saint Obi is dead, according to multiple reports.

At the time of this report, the Actors Guild of Nigeria is yet to make a statement as the family reportedly have a little disagreement hence the delay to make a formal announcement.
Reports say the actor’s body has been deposited at the morgue at Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH).
He was the favourite of many home video lovers in late 90s and early 2000 before he suddenly stopped appearing in movies. He had featured in over 100 movies before his demise.
