The family of the late Yoruba actress, Ajara Lasisi, fondly known as Aunty Ajara, has held an eight-day Fidau prayer following her burial.

The actress, whose death was announced by her brother, Ridwan Lazeez, passed away after a brief illness related to liver failure, which was further complicated by her pregnancy.
The 27-year-old actress was buried shortly after her death in accordance with Islamic burial rites.
Ajara was well known for her comedic roles in Yoruba movie productions.
