September 19, (THEWILL) – It is no longer news that Bolanle Adejumo, one of the wives of late comic actor, Moses Olaiya Adejumo, better known by his stage name, Baba Sala, has passed on. The talented actress died on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, at her residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, of an ailment believed to have been triggered by old age. She was sick for over two months, although her children took care of her and ensured that she lacked nothing. A few months ago, precisely in July, her children celebrated her 78th birthday, not knowing it would be her last.
Bolanle Adejumo started Alawada Comedy Group with her late husband, Moses Olaiya Adejumo in 1965. She played the role of Iya Sala in the popular Alawada series on the then Western Nigeria Television (WNTV) now known as Nigeria Television Authority (NTA). She played the role for almost 15 years before a younger wife of the late actor took over. Until her death, Madam Bolane was the eighth wife of the comic actor and the oldest person in the family.
