Saint Obi was very popular in the 1990s and early 2000s as he featured in over 100 movies.

Yoruba actor and movie producer, Murphy Afolabi, 49, died on Sunday, May 14, 2023, in his home at Ikorodu, Lagos State..

It was gathered that he died from injuries sustained when he fell in the bathroom.

Born on May 5, 1974, Afolabi got into the movie industry in 2001. The graduate of Ire Polytechnic, Osun State, appeared in over 60 movies before his death. His film credits include ‘Ifa Olokun’, ‘Omowunmi’, ‘Jimi Bendel’, ‘Wasila Coded’, ‘Olokiki Oru’, and ‘Idera’.
