Renowned Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta is mourning the tragic loss of his son.
The 54-year-old actor shared the heartbreaking news on his Instagram page on Saturday, though he did not provide any details about the circumstances surrounding his son’s death. In the post, Chatta included a photo of his late boy and wrote, “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things. Rest on, Dear son, champ.”
The announcement quickly drew an outpouring of sympathy from fans, colleagues, and members of the Nollywood community. The comments section of his post was filled with heartfelt condolences, reflecting the deep sorrow shared by those who know and admire the actor.
This tragic loss comes just days after veteran actress Peju Ogunmola also suffered the death of her only son, Ayomikun. Ayomikun, who was in his early thirties, passed away in Ibadan earlier this week. The back-to-back tragedies have sent shockwaves through Nollywood, leaving both colleagues and fans grappling with grief over the double blow to the industry.

Ibrahim Chatta has endured profound personal loss before. In June, he recounted the story of his first child, a daughter, who he lost years ago. He attributed her passing to financial difficulties and inadequate medical care at the time. In one of the most heart-wrenching revelations, Chatta shared that he had no choice but to bury his daughter in an old wooden Coca-Cola crate because he could not afford a proper coffin.
The latest tragedy adds to a pattern of heartbreaking experiences for the veteran actor. Colleagues and fans continue to rally around him in support, offering messages of comfort and solidarity during this period of mourning.
The Nollywood community, still reeling from Ogunmola’s loss, now shares in the grief of Chatta’s family, highlighting the fragility of life and the deep connections that bind the entertainment industry together.
