The Cable reported that the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Abubakar Yakubu, confirmed Akiyesi’s passing on Monday, April 27.
Yakubu disclosed that the actor died in his sleep on Sunday, April 26, and that his body has since been deposited at Abuja mortuary.

Born and raised in Ososo, Akoko‑Edo Local Government Area of Edo state, Akiyesi had his early education in his hometown before proceeding to the University of Ibadan for his tertiary studies.
Akiyesi built a career as an actor, producer, and director, featuring in notable films such as Deadly Affair (1995), Olaedo the Fisher Girl 2 (2015), Gen Z Wife (2024), Kiss My Pain, and Heart of a Saint. He also served on the Board of the Actors Guild of Nigeria and was President of the National Association of Ososo Creatives.
Beyond his career, Solomon Akiyesi was once at the center of a marriage controversy. In April 2013, his wedding to his second wife, Uloma Agwu, was disrupted by his first wife, Lilian.
Reports claimed that Lilian stormed the church ceremony in Lagos to clarify that they were still legally married.
The incident drew attention, and the actor was forced to later issue an apology for the disruption.
His unexpected death has left fans and colleagues in shock, with many reflecting on his contributions to Nollywood.
