Olaiya, who was the leader of the first theater group that Sisi Quadri joined in Iwo, said it never occurred to him that end was near for the deceased when news of his illness was relayed to him.
He said, “Sisi Quadri was indisposed and admitted at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso, where he eventually gave up ghost on Friday.”
“I discovered him (late Quadri). He joined my group in 1996. It was shocking hearing of his death. I was told he took ill and was brought back from location earlier this week. That is not new to us as theatre practitioners. People can become ill and get treated.
“When I heard of his illness, I told some of his contemporaries who trained under me to visit him. I was told he has been moved to a private medical facility in Iwo for treatment. I never thought it would result to death.”
Meanwhile, Sisi Quadri cause of death has been linked to kidney-related issues. The revelation was made known by blogger, Seun Oloketuyi via his Instagram page.

Around a decade ago, he embarked on his acting journey, and it was his role in the film “Seranko Seniyan” that earned him the moniker “Sisi Quadri.”
The late Sisi Quadri established himself as a comedic actor, delighting audiences with his performances in popular Nollywood movies such as “Aje Ni Eegun,” “Iya Oko Mi“, and “Omo Iya Oko.”
