Charles Warren played sub-lead roles in numerous movies such as, State of Emergency, Law 58 and many others. A popular comic actor, Shehu Jibril, otherwise known as ‘Golobo’ from the Hausa sector of the industry, popularly called Kannywood died also on Thursday morning in his hometown, Talatan Mafara, Zamfara state.
