Renowned Nollywood star Bose Alao is grieving the tragic loss of her spouse, former footballer Razak Omotoyossi, whose passing has sent shockwaves through their community.
The ex-Benin Republic striker reportedly breathed his last on August 19, 2025, at just 38 years old.
Omotoyossi’s illustrious career spanned European clubs like France’s FC Metz and Sweden’s Helsingborgs IF.
After changing national allegiances, he rose to become one of Benin’s most celebrated football icons.
Making history as Benin’s first AFCON goal scorer, his unforgettable four-goal spree against Togo during the 2008 qualifiers remains etched in the nation’s sporting lore.
Bose Alao and Omotoyossi exchanged vows in 2007, building a family with four children despite their relationship’s turbulent journey.
Their marriage weathered numerous storms, including a highly publicized 2018 incident where Alao alleged domestic violence.
The actress later clarified that their challenges required private resolution through counseling rather than media exposure.
