The unfortunate news of his passing was announced this morning on social media by actor Tony Akposheri. In his tribute, Akposheri expressed deep sorrow over the loss of his colleague and friend.

"Today, my heart is heavy," Akposheri wrote. "Davis Ofor, fondly known as Davis Ofor, our own Clarus from New Masquerade, is gone. We crossed into the New Year together, laughing, talking, sharing memories, and speaking hopefully about the days ahead. We spoke about life, about plans, about how far we had come. None of us knew that time was already counting differently for you. Life, as always, had its own plans."

Akposheri continued, describing the late actor's impact beyond the screen. "You were more than a familiar face on screen. You were a friend, a brother, a man with warmth, humor, and a presence that could light up any space. Knowing you personally was a gift I will always be grateful for. 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. Rest well, my friend. You came, you gave joy, you made your mark, and you will never be forgotten."

Nigerians and the entertainment industry mourn the passing of Rev Davis Ofor. The actor's contributions to comedy and television in Nigeria are remembered fondly. May his soul find eternal peace.
