The family of Nollywood veteran Peju Ogunmola has spoken out following widespread misinformation about the death of her only child, Ayomikun Omobolanle. While early reports claimed the young man died in a bathroom accident while living abroad, the family has now confirmed that he passed away after a brief illness in Ibadan.
In a statement released by spokesperson Yemi Amodu, the family expressed deep sorrow over Ayomikun’s passing and condemned the false narratives circulating online. They described the late Ayomikun as a “rising star” whose life touched many, and emphasized that he received full medical care before peacefully passing away in a hospital.
The statement also revealed that Ayomikun has since been laid to rest at Eternal Rest Home in Ibadan. The family urged the public to disregard misleading claims, stating that such stories not only distort the truth but also inflict unnecessary pain on those mourning his loss.
As tributes continue to pour in from colleagues, fans, and loved ones, the Ogunmola family expressed gratitude for the support and prayers they’ve received. They asked for continued respect and privacy as they navigate this painful chapter.
Ayomikun was the son of Peju Ogunmola and comic actor Sunday Omobolanle, popularly known as Papi Luwe. His death has left a deep void in the Nollywood community and among those who knew him personally.
