Report that the death of Ayomikun, the only child of veteran Nollywood actress, Peju Ogunmola, was occasioned by bathroom accident has received denial from the bereaved family.
The report had said the 24 year-old son the actress had with colleague, Sunday Omobolanle aka Papi Luwe fell in the bathroom in the UK and died as a result of not getting help.
A statement signed by the family’s spokesperson, Yemi Amodu, denied the claim.
It said the deceased who recently completed his National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, passed away in Ibadan after failing sick despite receiving adequate medical attention.
“It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved son, Sola Ayomikun Omobolanle (son of Sunday and Peju Ogunmola Omobolanle), a jewel, a precious child, and a rising star whose light shone brightly and touched many lives.
“His departure is a profound loss to our family and to all who knew and loved him.
“We wish to clearly state that Sola did not pass away as a result of any bathroom accident, contrary to false reports being circulated online.
“He was briefly unwell and, during this period, received first-class medical care.
“Despite the best efforts of the medical team, he peacefully answered the call of his creator. He passed away at a hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria and has since been laid to rest at Eternal Rest Home,” the statement read in part.
“We strongly urge the public to disregard the unfounded claims being spread by some bloggers.
“These misleading stories, suggesting that Sola died from a fall in the bathroom without help, are entirely false.
“They not only dishonour his memory but also bring unnecessary pain to his loved ones,” it concluded.
