Popular movie actor, Sisi Quadri, dies at 44
Sisi Quadri was well known for his role in the movie ‘Seniyan Seranko,’ which was released in December 2004.
He was also set to captivate the audience in the upcoming film ‘Anikulapo: The Return of Spectre’, which was scheduled for release in cinemas across the country shortly but was released on Netflix on Friday.
He recalled his foray into the movie industry in an interview with Punch in 2023, saying: “I proceeded to learn cloth design for four years which I concluded in 1999. My passion for education prompted me to further my education at The Polytechnic Iree.
“Afterwards, in 2000 my dad’s elder brother introduced me to my lecturer and mentor, Toyin Olaiya (Alaga council) who brought me into acting. When the late Hameeda Shakeem first saw me, she was so interested in me that she made me become a part of their team of actors.
“After this, I was introduced to makeup and relocated to Lagos where I met many celebrities. That’s how God favoured me and my journey to stardom began. My dad’s mission was for me to be a popular Muslim cleric but I achieved it in another way.”
