Veteran Nollywood actor Davis Ofor, popularly known for his role as Clarus in the classic sitcom The New Masquerade, has reportedly passed away.
The sad news was confirmed by his colleague Tony Akposheri, who played Zacky in the same television series.
Taking to Facebook on Tuesday, April 7, Akposheri paid tribute to the late actor, describing him as a close friend, brother, and a lively individual whose presence brought joy wherever he went.
In his message, Akposheri disclosed that he had recently spent time with Ofor, which made the loss even more painful.
“Today, my heart is heavy. Davis Ofor, fondly known as Clarus from New Masquerade, is gone,” he wrote.
He further recalled how they ushered in the New Year together, sharing laughter and hopeful conversations.
“We crossed into the New Year together, laughing, talking, sharing memories, and speaking hopefully about the days ahead. None of us knew that time was already counting differently for you,” he added.
Akposheri’s tribute highlighted Offor’s personality beyond his on-screen character, noting that he was warm, humorous, and naturally drew people to himself.
“You were more than a familiar face on screen. You were a friend, a brother, a man with warmth, humour, and a presence that could light up any space,” he wrote.
He also expressed how difficult it has been to come to terms with the sudden loss.
“It is hard to believe that the voice I heard not long ago is now a memory. Hard to accept that someone so full of life can suddenly become a story we tell.”
