Veteran actor and former Tinsel’ star, Victor Olaotan, popularly known as Big Daddy is dead.

Thelagostimes gathered that the 69-year-old veteran was bedridden for five years after he was involved in a ghastly vehicle accident in 2016.

In an exclusive interview with The PUNCH, the late actor’s wife, Julia Olaotan, who had been relentlessly seeking support for the actor, said her husband died on Thursday night in Lagos State.

Julia appreciated The PUNCH and donors for helping her husband while battling for his life in a Turkish hospital.

“Victor Olaotan has passed on, I don’t take the help rendered us for granted. Sadly, Olaotan had to come back to Nigeria because we could no more raise the money to continue treatment, so the hospital sent him back. I’m grateful for my husband’s life and I know all is well.

“Despite the challenges, God has been good to me and my family. He was there for five years,” she said.
