Nollywood actor, Adekola Tijani has revealed his last conversation with his late friend and colleague, Murphy Afolabi.

He made this known in an interview with Goldmyne TV during Afolabi’s funeral on Monday evening.

Tijani claimed that he had no idea Afolabi was predicting his death when he sent his quota for their monetary contribution ahead of schedule.

He said in Yoruba language, “I still called him yesterday (Sunday) when he sent money for a contribution we always do on Sundays, he sent it early and I questioned his decision to send it early.

“His response was we don’t know what will happen the next day or in the next minute. I didn’t know he was bidding me farewell.

“He called me after his birthday so that I could come and take some of the clothes he used for his birthday shoot. I told him not to worry but I didn’t know he was passing a message across to me.”

Murphy Afolabi was said to have fallen in the bathroom at his house in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Sunday morning, May 14.
