George, the First Child of Theatre Icon Ogunde, Has Died

The first child of late theater great Hubert Ogunde, George Ogunde, has passed away.

On Thursday, Dayo Ogunde, his sister, posted on Facebook to notify his passing. She did not, however, disclose his age or the reason for his passing.

This is what Dayo Ogunde posted:

"Brother mi, our firstborn child in the Ogunde tribe, it's difficult to say goodbye. But the fact that you're in a better place gives us comfort. You were such a wonderful, kind person. May your spirit always rest in the arms of your creator. Good night. Ogunde George.

Afolabi Ogunde-Kikiowo, a daughter of Hubert Ogunde, passed away in September 2019.
The family-owned Ogunde Theater was founded by the grandfather of the Ogunde family. Everybody According to reports, every one of his wives and kids took part in the shows, leaving a rich legacy in Nigerian theater.

Some of his offspring were singers, drummers, and ticket salespeople, while others were performers and actresses.

George Ogunde, like his renowned father, was a committed theater professional who oversaw a company for a number of years. His commitment to Nigerian theater is demonstrated by his positions as the troupe's chief drummer, dancer, and actor as well as by his mentoring of Jide Kosoko, one of the leading actors.

His leadership in safeguarding his father's creations and artifacts for future generations made a substantial contribution to the rich legacy of Nigerian theater.

The deceased was photographed in 2023, overcome with emotion after being shocked on by a Yoruba oratory chanter on his birthday.

With his captivating depiction of Bashorun in the Netflix series Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre, which debuted on March 1, 2024, his younger brother Owobo Ogunde won over hearts of fans.
About the reason of death, the place, the funeral plans, and other specifics, the family has not yet made an official statement available.
