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

Chiamaka Yusuf, the daughter of the late Nollywood actor Diewait Ikpechukwu, has made an emotional plea on Instagram for the public and the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to respect her privacy during her father's passing. In a tearful video, Chiamaka, known as Chiamax, urged everyone not to announce her father's death without her consent, stating that it was her sole decision to share such news.

She requested the AGN to take down any burial poster of her father, insisting that only she should have the authority to make such announcements. Chiamaka appeared emotionally distressed in the video, revealing that she was still wearing her father's shirt, which he had worn the day before. She emphasized that she needed to grieve privately and asked people to stop contacting her, allowing her to mourn in peace.

The actor, Diewait Ikpechukwu, reportedly passed away on Thursday at the age of 71 after a long illness.
