On Saturday, October 5, Saidi shared a sorrowful image on Instagram—a flickering candle surrounded by flowers—symbolizing the light that has been extinguished from his life.
Reports indicate that Saidi, a father of four, was in the middle of a stage performance at Terra Kulture on Friday when he received the devastating news of his daughter’s passing.
Actress Faithia Williams, Saidi Balogun’s ex-wife and former stepmother to the late Zeenat, also expressed her grief on Instagram. She wrote, “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un” (from Allah we come, to Him we shall return).
