Sad news has hit the Nigerian entertainment industry as Nollywood actress, Bose Alao, is currently mourning the painful loss of her beloved husband, Razak Omotoyossi, a renowned former Benin Republic international striker who made a name for himself both locally and internationally.
According to emerging reports, Razak Omotoyossi sadly passed away on August 19, 2025. The exact circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear at this moment, leaving family, friends, and fans in shock and deep sorrow. His untimely death has thrown the football and entertainment community into mourning, with many already expressing their heartfelt condolences.
Bose Alao and Razak Omotoyossi’s union dates back to 2007 when they officially tied the knot. Their marriage, blessed with four beautiful children, became one of the notable celebrity–sportsman unions admired across Nigeria and beyond. Despite facing several challenges over the years, their bond continued to attract public attention.
It should be remembered that their relationship was not without its ups and downs. At one point, their marriage was reportedly on and off. In 2018, Bose Alao made headlines after accusing her husband of domestic abuse. However, she later came out to clarify that the situation was a personal marital problem that required counseling and family intervention rather than public judgment. This showed the complexity of their union and the resilience they both displayed in navigating challenges.
On the professional front, Razak Omotoyossi enjoyed a highly decorated football career. He played for numerous clubs across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, leaving a lasting legacy as one of Benin Republic’s most recognized international strikers. His contribution to football earned him respect both on and off the pitch, and his absence will surely be felt within the sports world.
Fans, friends, and colleagues have since taken to different social media platforms to pay their tributes, celebrating Omotoyossi’s achievements while sympathizing with Bose Alao and her family during this heartbreaking period. The actress herself has yet to make a public statement, as she is understandably devastated by the sudden loss.
