Hubert Ogunde’s first child, George, is confirmed dead

George Ogunde, the first child of the late theatre icon Hubert Ogunde, has passed away.

His sister, Dayo Ogunde, shared the sad news in a Facebook post on Thursday.

“It’s hard to say goodbye Brother mi, our first child in the Ogunde clan. But we take solace in the fact that you are in a better place.

“You were such a wonderful and friendly soul. May your soul continue to rest in the bosom of your maker.

“Goodnight George Ogunde.

“Omo Gbegande Esiwu Ijoku,” Dayo Ogunde wrote.

George Ogunde, like his late iconic father, was also a theatre practitioner and had his own troupe.
