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

Saint Obi Cause Of Death

Obi died at the age of 57 after a protracted illness.

He was said to have died early in the week after battling an undisclosed illness for several with no successful treatment.

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.

Some of the movies Saint Obi featured were State of Emergency, Take me to Maama, Festival of Fire, Executive Crime, Sakobi, Heart of Hold, Goodbye Tommorrow, Candle Light, and Last Party amongst several others.

This is a developing story. More details shortly…
