🇳🇬 Nollywood Actor Ibrahim Chatta Mourns Loss of Son

Nollywood actor and filmmaker Ibrahim Chatta was thrown into mourning following the death of his son, a loss he announced publicly through his Instagram page on September 6, 2025. Chatta shared a photograph of the deceased and posted a brief message expressing his grief and submission to God’s will. He did not disclose the identity of the deceased or provide details about the cause of death in his announcement. The announcement attracted an outpouring of condolences from colleagues, fans and members of the Nigerian entertainment industry, who expressed sympathy for the actor and his family during the difficult period. There was initially some confusion in media reports over whether the deceased was Chatta's biological son or godson. Pulse Nigeria reported that Chatta described him as his godson, while other publications referred to the deceased simply as his son. Because Chatta's own public post did not provide further details, FACTFUL24 should avoid describing the deceased as his biological child unless independently confirmed. The tragedy also came days after the death of Ayomikun, the only son of veteran actress Peju Ogunmola. His family said he died after a brief illness in Ibadan, amid misinformation about the circumstances of his death. Chatta had previously spoken publicly about another devastating loss in his life. In June 2025, he recalled the death of his first child, a daughter, years earlier, which he attributed to financial hardship and inadequate access to medical care.
