Last month, Ibrahim was left humbled following a visit by the Oyo State National Police Force (NPF) to his Film village. He shared a video of their visit, as he expressed how humbled he was to receive them. He revealed that they discussed the security of their community, curbing piracy, and sensitive movie props around Oyo State with ease.

Last year, Nigerians had angrily reacted to the snub of Ibrahim Chatta by AMVCA, as he wasn’t nominated despite his role in Femi Adebayo’s film King of Thieves, which contributed greatly to the success of the movie. Sharing their thoughts online, many noted that Ibrahim Chatta is a brilliant actor who is good at interpreting different roles perfectly. He has delivered perfectly well since the first time he appeared on the screen as an actor.

Also speaking out for him, Ibrahim’s baby mama, Olayinka Solomon, questioned the organizers of AMVCA for ignoring the actor from their nomination list. She called out the organizers, urging them to release the criteria for winning their awards, as she noted how Ibrahim is a versatile actor.

Speaking out for himself, Chatta lamented over how AMVCA didn’t give him an invite to the prestigious award ceremony. He stated that he wasn’t bothered by the lack of acknowledgment as he knows there are lots of actors who are better than him. However, his major concern was why he didn’t get invited to the ceremony, but his junior colleagues scored the invites.
