The New Masquerade’s hilarious actor, Davis Ofor, who played ‘Clarus’ in the iconic drama series of the 70s and 80s is dead.
His death was announced by his longtime colleague in the sitcom who played Zacky, Dr Tony Akposheri, on Tuesday via his Facebook post.
“Today, my heart is heavy.
“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.
“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.”
Ofor who played a comic character, ‘Clarus Omegbojikwe’ in the drama series which had Chika Okpala (Chief Zebrudaya Okorigwe Nwogbo Alia 4:30) hailed from Abia State.
