Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has clarified the confusion surrounding actor Ibrahim Chatta's recent loss.
Chatta's initial Instagram post had led many to believe he had lost his biological son, drawing an outpouring of condolences from fans, friends, and colleagues.
However, Aiyeola explained on Instagram that the deceased was Chatta's godson, whom he loved deeply and treated like his own child.
"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 has mercy," she wrote.
Chatta has since updated his post to reflect the clarification, writing, "Inna liLlahi wa inna ileyhi rajiun. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things. Rest on, dear GodSon. Champ."
