The actress wrote:

“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. Oluwa shanu wa, bawa da wo iku odo duro. It’s been an extremely emotional ride so far. Lord, have mercy on us all and heal the world.”

Her message came after she had earlier sympathised with her colleague.
