It was a sober moment as Ayo Surutu, daughter of Nollywood actress, Remi Surutu, was buried at the Ikoyi Vaults in Lagos on Thursday, July 6, 2017.
In a note to her daughter, the actress wrote: ‘You were my immediate sister and you remain one of the best things that ever happened to me. My confidante, You have never forsaken me or your sister.
‘I will keep your memories forever, and in all honesty I can only console myself with the belief that I will see you again, my beautiful precious daughter.’
Among the Nollywood celebrities present to console Surutu were Ronke Oshodi Oke, Iyabo Ojo, Busola Oke and Yomi Fabiyi.
21-year-old Ayo died after a long battle with the sickle cell anaemia at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
