Nollywood Actor Ibrahim Chatta Mourns Son’s Death

Veteran Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta is grieving the loss of his son, whom he fondly referred to as “Dear son, champ.” The 54-year-old actor shared the news in an emotional Instagram post, saying: “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things. Rest on, Dear son, champ.”

Chatta did not disclose the circumstances surrounding his son’s death. The post has attracted condolences from fans and colleagues across the Nollywood industry, including actresses Biola Adebayo and Tawa Ajisefini.

This tragedy follows closely on the heels of the death of veteran actress Peju Ogunmola’s only son, Ayomikun, who passed away in Ibadan after a brief illness at the age of 30.

Earlier this year, Chatta had recounted the painful loss of his first child, a daughter, whom he was unable to bury in a proper coffin due to financial constraints, resorting instead to a wooden Coca-Cola crate.

The Nollywood community continues to express support for Chatta during this difficult period.
