Actor, Model and Producer Karibi Fubara is dead. The news about his demise was broken on social media by his sisters who took to their handles to pay tribute to a brother they described as a fighter.
“He was a warrior, now he’s an angel in heaven” said a social media post by His sister, Stella Fubara, a top official working with the government of Dubai, where the actor had been undergoing cancer treatment for the past year.
The post was met with tributes by popular Nollywood actors and actresses including, Rita Dominic, Funke Akindele, Kate Henshaw, Sharon Ooja, among others.
His other sister, Aya Eneli via her Twitter page on Wednesday, December 12, 2021 wrote:
“My brother, Karibi Fubara, has joined the ancestral realm. I’m devastated, but not hopeless. He lived fully and with joy. Left a great body of work. Will be a powerful ancestor. I love you, #ChiefBlack. I do not own the rights to this song.”
Fubara’s death came exactly nineteen months after he survived a surgery on his kidney. In April last year, the “God Calling” Actor was diagnosed of a large mid-stage kidney tumor/cancer.
Karibi, who married popular Nollywood fashion entrepreneur, Yolanda Okereke in 2019, won many hearts in films such as the recent Smart Money Woman and God Calling.
