Nollywood actor, RMD took to Instagram yesterday, July 7, 2016 to mourn the death of veteran Nollywood actress, Zainab Bukky Ajayi, who died on Wednesday, July 6, 2016 and was buried according to Muslim rites by 4pm on the same day.

Fondly referring to her as “Aunty Bukks”, Richard Mofe Damijo issued a heartfelt apology for not visiting her in her last days.

The 55-year-old film star and former political appointee aknowledged that he took the gift of life for granted by procrastinating.

He shared an old photo of himself with the late icon and wrote, “Aunty Bukks, I am sorry. Sorry I did NOT visit you in your last days, not because I didn’t want to but because I took for granted the gift of life and procrastinated. To think that I spoke to Abounce kunle your son (whom I share the TV series Hush with where he is such a star now as Ruffy Jackson.”

“Taking after you) several days ago to ask for the best time to come see you…if I knew it was time I would have come that very day to see you but who would have thought that the bold, strong Aunty Bukks who has consistently defied every circumstance and risen above every situation will go to sleep so soon.

It is my birthday today and as I sit here writing you, I can only think how ironic it is that you have completed the circle of life.

I am deeply pained by your passing but I am extremely proud that you are a part of my life and I yours.

I love you very much Aunty Bukks and will NEVER trade the memories of you for anything.

Sleep well in Gods bosom.
#GreatLoss.“
