EKO HOT BLOG reports that the 54-year-old actor shared the heartbreaking news on Saturday through his Instagram page, describing the loss as an act of God. Posting a photo of his late son, he wrote: “Inna Lillahi wa inna ileyhi rajiun. Ya Allah, you are the knower of all things. Rest on, Dear son, champ.”

This tragedy reopens old wounds for Chatta, who had earlier revealed that his first child, a baby girl, died years ago because he could not afford proper medical care at the time. According to him, she was buried in a wooden crate after his struggle to raise funds for treatment proved unsuccessful.

The latest incident comes just days after another Nollywood veteran, Peju Ogunmola, also lost her only son, Ayomikun, on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. Ayomikun, 24, was the son of Ogunmola and her husband, Omobolanle Sunday.

Both losses have cast a shadow over the Nollywood industry, with colleagues and fans expressing deep sympathy for the grieving families.
