Nollywood veteran Saint Obi was finally laid to rest in Imo State.
Obinna Nwafor, also known as Saint Obi in Nollywood, has been laid to rest in his birthplace. In May, news broke that the film producer and director had died.
After a protracted illness, the actor died on Sunday, May 7th, at the house of one of his siblings in Jos. According to rumours, his burial was delayed for about a week due to a sibling quarrel.

Saint Obi’s ex-wife, who had been under considerable scrutiny for purportedly contributing to the actor’s depression that eventually led to his passing, was observed clad in white attire alongside their children as his mortal remains were gently laid to rest.
The veteran was buried to rest in his hometown of Alaenyi Ogwa, Imo State, over three months after his death. Photos and online footage showed the actor being laid to rest amid weeping.
The actor’s family refutes claims that the late Saint Obi, a veteran actor, suffered in his marriage.
They voiced their opinions about the actor, which they also termed terrible and tragic, and they criticized Zik Zulu Okafor’s article as untrue, malicious, and insensitive.
They claimed that Zik Zulu never sought the counsel of any family member or obtained their consent or authorization, and as a result, they are cutting off their ties to its contents.
His family went on to heap praise on his ex-wife, describing her as the complete reverse of how the story presented her.
Read the press statement below,
“RE: DEMISE OF SAINT OBI (MR OBINNA NWAFOR)
Our attention has been drawn to the publication by one Mr Zik Zulu Okafor concerning the death of our son, Mr Obinna Nwafor, popularly known as Saint Obi, and the accompanying negative commentary in social and other media portraying his widow in an unfair and most defamatory manner. This is in no way, shape, or form an accurate portrayal of the Lynda that we know and relate with.
The Nwafor family also views the said article by Mr Okafor as sad and most unfortunate. It was neither written in consultation with any family member nor authored with our consent or authority. We totally disassociate ourselves from it.
The views and allegations contained therein are entirely the opinion of the writer. They are false, malicious, and insensitive to the wife, children, and entire family he left behind.
This is a mourning period for the family, and we appreciate the condolences of friends, fans, and well-wishers. We ask that the family’s privacy be respected at this time.
The funeral rites will be communicated to the public in due course.
May the soul of our dearly beloved brother, son, father, and husband. Rest in peace. Amen”.
