In a heartbreaking turn of events, veteran Nollywood actress Peju Ogunmola has lost her only child, Shina, at just 24 years old.
Reports confirm that the tragedy occurred on Tuesday while the actress was actively engaged on a movie set. Shina, who had only recently completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, sadly passed away a few months into life after service.
The devastating news was first made public by filmmaker Seun Oloketuyi, who shared the announcement via a Facebook post late Tuesday night. His words read:
“Peju Ogunmola loses a 24-year-old son. Her only child. Please, remember her in prayers.”
The loss of a child is one of the deepest pains any parent can face, and for Peju Ogunmola, this tragedy marks a particularly heavy blow as Shina was her only son.
Fans, colleagues, and the entire Nollywood community have begun sending their condolences and prayers to the grieving actress during this difficult time.
This incident serves as a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of showing love to those close to us while we can.
At Jamflash, we extend our heartfelt sympathies to Peju Ogunmola and her family as they navigate through this unimaginable loss.
