Ajara, known for her diminutive stature and memorable screen presence, had been critically ill for some time. During her illness, colleagues including Wunmi Toriola, Foluke Daramola, Mama Nonetwork, and several others appealed to the public for support, seeking donations to aid her treatment.
On Thursday, Nollywood actor TeeMony confirmed her passing in an Instagram post, expressing heartfelt gratitude to everyone who offered prayers, encouragement, and financial assistance throughout her battle with illness.
“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.”
The Nollywood community continues to honor her legacy, remembering the joy she brought to audiences and her dedication to the craft. Fans and colleagues alike are paying tribute to a career and life that touched many hearts.
