Nollywood actress Bimbo Thomas has announced the death of her mother.
The Omo Ghetto star via a post on Friday announced her mother’s passing with the image of a burning candle.
“Rest on mother,” she captioned the post.
Fellow celebrities like Mercy Aigbe, Kemi Korede and Alesh Sanni consoled her in the comment section of the post.
Born and raised on Lagos Island, Lagos State, Bimbo Thomas is the fifth child of her parents.
She studied Mass Communication at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State.
Meanwhile, Bimbo once said her dad was not in support of her joining the movie industry but her mum helped her become an actress.
“My dad wasn’t in support of me acting because he wanted me to become a lawyer but he didn’t know that my UTME score wasn’t high enough to qualify for law. I told my mum about my interest in creative acts and acting. So, she spoke to Abbey Lanre and that was how I met other big names in the industry. I was also trained even as an undergraduate,”
she said in a 2018 interview with PUNCH.
