Heaven Gains Another Soul: Mount Zion’s Abattoir Actor Omooba Oluwasegun Oyeyemi Passes Away
The Christian film industry is mourning the passing of Omooba Oluwasegun Oyeyemi, best known for his role as Flora’s husband in the popular Mount Zion movie Abattoir.
Beyond Abattoir, he also featured in several gospel films, including Seyifunmi, Olukoya, and Finding Grace, leaving behind a legacy of impactful Christian storytelling.
His passing is particularly heartbreaking, coming after the death of Toluwalope Adegboyega-Alagbe, the actress who played Flora in Abattoir. She passed away on February 4, 2025, following complications from a tragic car accident that occurred on December 26, 2024, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The accident also claimed the life of one of her two-year-old twin daughters.
Her passing prompted heartfelt tributes from the gospel film community, including Evangelist Mike Bamiloye and Joshua Mike-Bamiloye, and came shortly after the loss of another Abattoir actor, Moses Korede Are (Baba Gbenro).
According to the funeral announcement, a Service of Songs will be held on Thursday, July 2, 2026, while his burial is scheduled for Friday, July 3, 2026, in Ibadan.
May God comfort his family, friends, colleagues, and the entire Christian movie industry during this difficult time.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. 🕊️
