Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has been thrown into mourning following the passing of his supposed son, which he announced via Instagram on Saturday.
The actor who once lost his first child during a time of his struggle over the inability to afford the hospital bill suffers a similar fate.
Sharing a photo of the late boy, the 54-year-old actor wrote: “Inna liLlahi wa inna ileyhi rajiun. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things. Rest on Dear Son. Champ💔💔💔💔.”
The emotional post has since drawn an outpouring of condolences from fans and colleagues in the film industry.
Actress Tawa Ajisefini reacted: “Haaaaa Subuhanallah. I’m so sorry uncle. Condolences.”
Fellow actor Jamiu Azeez also wrote: “Haaaaaa God pls have mercy on us ooo, dadad this is too much o.”
As of the time of filing this report, it remains unclear whether the deceased was Chatta’s biological son or a close relative.
The development comes just days after Nollywood veteran Peju Ogunmola lost her only child, Ayomikun, plunging the entertainment industry further into grief.
