Nollywood has again been thrown into mourning as popular Yoruba actor, Ibrahim Chatta, announced the death of his son.
The 54-year-old actor broke the news in the early hours of Saturday via his Instagram page, where he shared a photo of the deceased.
He wrote: “Inna liLlahi wa inna ileyhi rajiun. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things. Rest on, Dear Son. Champ.”
Chatta did not disclose details surrounding the boy’s death. The development comes just days after veteran actress Peju Ogunmola lost her only child, Ayomikun.
The actor’s post has since drawn an outpouring of condolences from fans and colleagues in the movie industry.
This is not the first tragedy the actor has experienced. In June, Chatta recalled losing his first child, a daughter, whom he buried in a wooden Coca-Cola crate due to financial hardship and lack of proper medical care at the time.
