Nollywood actress, Opeyemi Aiyeola, has addressed reports surrounding fellow actor Ibrahim Chatta’s bereavement, clarifying details in a post on her verified Instagram account.
Media reports over the weekend reported that Chatta had lost his biological son following a post he shared on Instagram.
“Inna liLlahi wa inna ileyhi rajiun. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things Rest on Dear Son. Champ,” he had formerly wrote.
However, Aiyeola, taking to her official handle, #opeyemi_aiyeola1, on Sunday, explained that the actor did not lose his biological child but rather a godson, who was also like a son to him.
“Ibrahim Chatta didn’t lose his biological son but a godson who is also like a son to him.
“May his pure soul continue to rest peacefully… It’s been an extremely emotional ride so far. God have mercy,” she wrote.
The actress offered prayers for strength and comfort for the bereaved family, urging compassion during the difficult period.
Meanwhile, PUNCH Online had earlier reported that Chatta himself had yet to provide further details about the loss.
