The 54-year-old actor revealed the tragic news via Instagram on Saturday, posting a solemn tribute that read:

“Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things. Rest on, Dear son, champ.”

While Ibrahim Chatta did not disclose the cause of death, the photo of his late son has sparked an overwhelming wave of sympathy from colleagues, fans, and well-wishers across social media.

This tragedy strikes just days after another painful loss in Nollywood — veteran actress Peju Ogunmola recently lost her only son, Ayomikun, who passed away in Ibadan earlier in the week.

With two losses in such a short span, the Nigerian film industry is reeling from grief.

Chatta’s recent heartbreak is not his first encounter with loss.

In a candid revelation earlier this year, he shared how he once lost his first child, a daughter, during a period of severe financial hardship.

At the time, he could not afford proper medical care and had to bury her in a Coca-Cola wooden crate — a memory that has haunted him for years.

The news has triggered an outpouring of condolences and prayers, with many in the Nollywood community and beyond offering emotional support to the actor.
