Omoni Oboli's Co-Star/British Actor Sam Sarpong Dies after Jumping Off a Bridge Aged 40
British-American actor and model Sam Sarpong has tragically taken his own life aged just 40.

Tributes have been pouring in on social media for Sam whom friends described as being 'the life of the party', someone who loved life and would face every day with 'a smile on his face.' Read what a devastated Omoni shared on her IG page after the cut. May Sarpong's soul rest in perfect peace.
