Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has announced the passing of his father, a loss that has profoundly impacted his sister, actress Dakore Egbuson-Akande, and resonated across the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Timini shared the news on Sunday, January 4, 2026, via his official Instagram page, posting photos of his late father alongside the caption:
“Didn’t think I’ll start the year saying this… Rest in peace Dad. So much left unsaid, but I’ll keep making you proud.”
The post immediately drew messages of sympathy and support from fans and colleagues. Actress Funke Akindele wrote: “May Daddy’s soul rest in peace.” Actor Uzee Usman added: “So sorry for your loss… may his gentle soul rest in peace.”
Several other Nigerian entertainers, including Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori (Kiekie), Gabriel Afolayan, Mercy Aigbe, and Mike Afolarin, also sent condolences and prayers, offering comfort to Timini and his family during this difficult time.
The beginning of the year has thus been marked by mourning for the Egbuson family, as Timini and Dakore come to terms with the loss of their beloved father while receiving heartfelt support from the entertainment community and fans across the country.
