Chiamaka Yusuf Asks AGN to Remove Burial Poster Following Father's Death

Nollywood Actress' Daughter Pleads for Privacy After Loss

Nollywood actress Chiamaka Yusuf, daughter of the late Diewait Ikpechukwu, has addressed the public, requesting respect for her family's privacy following their loss.

Yusuf made her appeal in response to a recent incident involving the Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (AGN), which had shared a poster announcing the burial of her father. She has now asked the organization to remove the poster.

In a statement obtained by PUNCHNG, Yusuf expressed her gratitude for the condolences received but emphasized the need for privacy during this difficult time.

  • Chiamaka Yusuf's Appeal: "I want to appreciate everyone who has shown love and support since my father's death. However, I kindly request that you respect our privacy as we grieve our loss."
  • Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners: "I am aware that the AGN shared the burial poster, but I kindly ask them to remove it as it is causing unnecessary attention and disturbance to our family."

The late Diewait Ikpechukwu, a renowned actor in the Nigerian entertainment industry, passed away earlier this month, leaving behind a legacy in Nollywood and a grieving family.
