1-MOJI OLAIYA

Nollywood actress Moji Olaiya died in Canada May 17, 2017 barely two months after the birth of her baby.

According to her family members in an interview, ‘Moji’s baby was born premature. Her EDD was for May 2017 but complications arose that necessitated that Moji be induced to save the baby’s life as well as hers, but since the delivery in March, Moji’s health had not been exactly perfect.”

On the day Moji died, around 10pm local time (3am Nigerian time) she went into a crisis. Her family member who could not hold back tears continued:

‘Her blood pressure shot up and she got unconscious. An ambulance was called to transport her to the hospital. But her case worsened and she gave up the ghost before they could make it to the hospital.’

‘Moji could not say goodbye to us, she didn’t let us hold her baby, where will her mother start from? Her death came too early, I believe this was not ordinary. This looks like a spiritual attack.’

Moji Olaiya’s infant daughter, baby Mariam Ashabi Moropeda is now 3 years old.

The Nollywood star Moji Olaiya was buried at the Ebony Vault burial ground in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Moji is the daughter of highlife musician Victor Olaiya.
