Tragedy struck in the household of popular Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Chatta, following the death of his son.
Chatta broke the news in a post on his Instagram page on Saturday, leaving out details about his son’s passing.
The 54-year-old actor shared a photo of the late boy, with the caption, “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things. Rest on, Dear son, champ.”
Following the announcement, Chatta’s colleagues and fans flooded the comments section with messages of condolence.
This is the second child Chatta has lost as he stated in June that he lost his first child, a daughter, years ago.
He attributed her passing to financial hardship and inadequate medical care.
Chatta revealed that he had to bury his daughter in an old wooden Coca-Cola crate after failing to afford a proper coffin.
The heartbreaking development comes days after veteran actress, Peju Ogunmola, also lost her only son, Ayomikun. Ayomikun, who was in his early 30s, died in Ibadan earlier this week.
The two incidents have thrown the Nollywood community into mourning, with colleagues and fans expressing shock at the double tragedies.
