In the limelight now, regrettable farewells take center stage as our trusted source reports the sorrowful demise of Monalisa Ayobami Stephen, popularly known as Gabacci, on May 13, 2025. This news was announced via the Instagram page of award-winning producer and Chief Executive Officer of the Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards, Seun Oloketuyi, detailed on May 14, 2025[1][2][5].
According to the official confirmation, the versatile actress, who was a revered plus-size model and body positivity advocate, succumbed to a tough fight against low blood sugar and internal bleeding. Her younger sister crowned the demise with the bitter truth.
