Life Is a Brief Journey: Nollywood Actress Aunty Ajara Dies After Battle With Liver Illness

It is with deep sadness that we confirm the passing of beloved Yoruba actress, Aunty Ajara.

According to family sources, a doctor confirmed her death to loved ones earlier today, Thursday, February 5, 2026, following a brief but serious battle with liver-related illness.

In a now-viral video shared online, the late actress’s elder brother, Ridwan Lazeez, broke the news while expressing heartfelt gratitude to the public. He thanked everyone who supported Aunty Ajara financially, through prayers, and with kind messages during her illness.

Mama No Network, who had been closely following and sharing updates about her condition, posted the following announcement on Instagram:

“With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved actress, Aunty Ajara. She passed on overnight after a long and courageous battle with illness.

During this difficult period, Ajara received immense love, prayers, and financial support from kind-hearted people across the world. We are deeply grateful to everyone who stood by her with prayers, contributions, encouragement, and compassion.

At this moment, we kindly urge family, friends, and the general public to please stop sending money to the previously shared account, as it is no longer required.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, loved ones, and everyone grieving this painful loss. May her soul rest in perfect peace.”

Her passing comes just days after several colleagues and fans rallied online to solicit financial support for her medical treatment.

Aunty Ajara will be remembered for her unique presence, humour, and memorable roles in Yoruba films.

May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
