Elebuwa, who died on Tuesday night, had
been battling the effects of a stroke for
sometime and undergone treatment at some
hospitals in Nigeria before being moved
abroad.
The illness had kept him bedridden for
sometime.
Elebuwa was well known for the role he played
as Andrew in a campaign by the Federal
Government in the 80s to discourage Nigerians
from fleeing the country.
The immediate President of the Actors Guild of
Nigeria, Mr. Segun Arinze, confirmed Elebuwa’s
death on the telephone.
He said, “He fought gallantly. He was a great
actor. We all called him Andrew but
unfortunately, he has checked out.
“We thank the Delta State Government which
stood by him. We also thank the Delta State
Commissioner for Tourism, Richard Mofe-
Damijo, for his efforts.”
