Sumsum Ahuofe reflected on the late Apaluca's life and impact, recounting their plans for a show in South Africa.
He disclosed that he went to South Africa for a show, and Apaluca was supposed to join him. Little did he know that his colleague would pass away so soon.
"People don't regard us, but some of us are even graduates. I remember when I was younger, many ridiculed and looked down on me because of my protruding eyes. But today, I've profited from it. The places I have access to, you may not," Sumsum said.
"Apalu was a good man. He laughed with everyone. In this world, no one can stop death," he noted.
