Late Nollywood actor’s daughter begs AGN to remove burial poster

Nollywood actress Chiamaka Yusuf, daughter of the late actor Diewait Ikpechukwu, has implored the public to respect her privacy in the wake of her father's passing. In a heartfelt Instagram video, Chiamaka, known as Chiamax, requested members of the public not to announce her father's death without her permission. She also urged the Actors Guild of Nigeria to remove a purported burial poster of her father, insisting she should be the one to share the news.

Weeping in the video, Chiamaka pleaded with the guild and the public to stop contacting her, allowing her to grieve privately. "Actors Guild, I don’t want you guys to post my daddy. Nobody should post my daddy’s poster. You people should leave me alone. Nobody should call me. I’m still wearing my daddy’s shirt; he wore it yesterday," she said. The actor passed away at the age of 71 on Thursday following a prolonged illness.
