The post led many to believe he had lost his biological child, drawing a flood of condolences from fans, friends, and colleagues in the movie industry.
Nigerian actress, Opeyemi Aiyeola has clarified the confusion regarding reports about actor Ibrahim Chatta’s recent loss.
Recall that actor Chatta via his Instagram handle on Saturday, announced the painful loss of someone dear to him and referring to the deceased as his “son.”
The post led many to believe he had lost his biological child, drawing a flood of condolences from fans, friends, and colleagues in the movie industry.
Among those who initially sympathized with him was Opeyemi Aiyeola, who prayed for strength and divine comfort for Chatta and his family.
However, in a fresh Instagram post, Opeyemi clarified that the late boy was not Chatta’s biological child but rather his godson, whom the actor loved deeply and regarded as his own.
“Ibrahim Chatta didnt 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.
A check on Ibrahim Chatta’s Instagram page also confirmed this update, as the actor has since edited his original post to reflect that the deceased was indeed his godson.
