The family of the late Sola Ayomikun Omobolanle, son of renowned Nollywood veterans Sunday and Peju Ogunmola Omobolanle, has released an official statement to address and correct misinformation surrounding his recent passing.
In a heartfelt press release, the family expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Sola, describing him as “a jewel, a precious child, and a rising star whose light shone brightly and touched many lives.” Sola's untimely death, they emphasized, is a profound loss not only to his family but also to the broader community of those who knew and loved him.
Clarifying the Circumstances
Contrary to several misleading reports circulating online, the family firmly denied claims that Sola died as a result of a bathroom accident.
“Sola did not pass away as a result of any bathroom accident, contrary to false reports being circulated online,” the statement reads. “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.”
The family confirmed that he passed away at a hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria, and has since been laid to rest at Eternal Rest Home.
A Call for Respect and Accuracy
The family condemned the spread of inaccurate information by certain bloggers and social media outlets, calling such actions “misleading” and “deeply hurtful.”
“These misleading stories… are entirely false. They not only dishonour his memory but also bring unnecessary pain to his loved ones,” said the family’s spokesperson, filmmaker Yemi Amodu.
Gratitude Amid Grief
Amid their grief, the Omobolanle family expressed sincere gratitude for the support and prayers they have received.
“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support… Your kindness has been a source of strength and comfort.”
The statement concluded with a prayer for healing and a hope that no family would endure such a painful loss.
Sola Ayomikun Omobolanle is remembered as a bright and promising individual, taken too soon, but forever cherished in the hearts of those who loved him.
