Nollywood Actor, Ibrahim Chatta Loses Son

By Akinwale Kasali

Less than a week after veteran Nollywood Actress, Peju Ogunmola, lost her only son to death, another veteran actor, Ibrahim Chatta has also lost his.

Chatta took to his Social Media handle to mourn the demise of his son.

The 54-year-old actor shared the heartbreaking news in a post on his Instagram page on Saturday, though he did not provide details about his son’s passing.

Sharing a photo of the late boy, Chatta wrote, “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.

The two incidents have thrown the Nollywood community into mourning, with colleagues and fans expressing shock at the double tragedies.

Chatta had, in June, recounted how 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.

He never knew death was lurking around, again, around his dear son.
