Yoruba actor Quadri Oyebamiji Tolani, popularly known as Sisi Quadri, has been buried hours after he died on Friday.

The 44-year-old was buried at his family house in Iwo Town, Osun State on Saturday.

Family, friends and colleague could not hold back their tears as the comic actor was laid to rest.

In a video circulating on the internet, many could be seen wailing as the corpse was being carried into his home for burial.

Youths and residents of Iwo, theatre practitioners and other dignitaries all came to pay their last respects to the deceased.

Quadri, known for his sarcasm in movies and skits, had his breakthrough in 2004 in the epic Yoruba movie, Seranko Seniyan. His meteoric rise came in 2020 when he released the movie Ebudola alongside an actress, Funmi Awelewa.

His other movies include Ololade Mrs Money, Toko Taya, Big Brother Ibadan, Lepa Gawu and recently Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre.

Aside from acting, Sisi Quadri was a trained fashion designer and, at different times, expressed his love for the craft, which he reiterated he would never leave.

He was married and blessed with two kids, Hazani Olamilekan, and Olamide Oyebamiji. In October 2020, he completed his house.

Quadri’s passing occurred just a year after he lost his mother on February 22, 2023.
