Mount Zion's Abattoir family has suffered another devastating loss as actor Omooba Oluwasegun Oyeyemi, known for his role as Flora's husband in the gospel film series, has passed away. His death follows a string of tragic losses among other Abattoir cast members, deepening the grief of fans and the gospel film community.
Details of the Actor's Death and Funeral Arrangements
According to the funeral announcement, Oyeyemi's Service of Songs is scheduled for Thursday, July 2, 2026, while his burial will take place on Friday, July 3, 2026, in Ibadan. The cause of death has not been disclosed publicly. His passing is especially poignant because the actress who played Flora, Toluwalope Adegboyega-Alagbe, died earlier this year on February 4, 2025, from complications of a car accident on December 26, 2024, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The crash also claimed the life of one of her two-year-old twin daughters.
Previous Losses in the Abattoir Cast
Toluwalope's death drew tributes from across the gospel film community, including heartfelt messages from Evangelist Mike Bamiloye and Joshua Mike-Bamiloye. Her passing came shortly after the death of another Abattoir actor, Moses Korede Are, fondly remembered as Baba Gbenro.
