In April, the actor got a lifeline of N10m from a popular philanthropist, Reverend Esther Ajayi, popularly known as Iya Adura. The donation came two weeks after the news of his ill health gained public attention through a video that went viral.

Alabi Yellow was reported to have been moved to a hospital to continue treatment for his ailment after the donation.

The actor enjoyed an enviable presence in Nigeria’s movie industry for several years. He last featured in a film directed by Kunle Afolayan, 'Mokalik' where he played the role of a Mechanic.

Alabi Yellow appeared in several Yoruba movies and also wrote a book titled, ‘A ba Oko Ku’.
