Nollywood actress Peju Ogunmola has broken her silence following the loss of her son.
Kemi Filani reported in September that Peju Ogunmola had lost her only child, Ayomikun.
In a statement released via the family’s spokesperson, Yemi Amodu, he set the record straight on the cause of Ayomikun’s death. He said contrary to the claim, Ayomikun died after a brief illness in Ibadan and has since been buried.
Now, making her return, Peju in an emotional video posted on her Instagram page minutes ago, noted how it’s a new month and a new dawn. She said the past few months have been heavy, but the love, prayers, and condolences from the public have carried her through the storm.
She said today that she rises stronger, grateful, and ready to embrace her passion again. The veteran announced her return to the screen, noting how much she had missed it.
“A new month, a new dawn.
The past months have been heavy, but your love, prayers, and condolences have carried me through the storm.
Today I rise, stronger, grateful, and ready to embrace my passion again.
The screens have missed me… and I’m back, doing what I love most”.
When the news of her son’s death made headlines, actors from the industry stormed her and her husband, Sunday Omobolanle, aka Papi Luwe’s residence, in Ibadan, Oyo State, to show solidarity with the grieving couple. Dele Odule, Ronke Odusanya, Fausat Balogun, Dupe Jayesimi, Bimbo Oshin, Ebun Oloyede, Olaiya Igwe, Fali Werepe, and many more visited the actress.
Last year, actor, Francis Duru announced the death of his son, Ifeanyi. He compared his son to a lion who fought fiercely for his life. The actor stated that if this is how God wants it, so be it. Francis stated that he still judges him.
Also, last year, comedian Aphrican Ace and his wife lost their barely a day old son, who came out earlier than expected. The comedian stated that he had never experienced such pain before as he noted how they quickly went from plans for him coming home to talking to funeral homes.
In 2023, on Father’s Day, skit maker Olagunju Solomon Olamide, better known as Akika, lost his son. The skitmaker made the sad news known on his Instagram page as he stated that he was looking for the perfect picture of himself and his son to post online before his demise.
