Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta sadly revealed how his firstborn died because he couldn’t afford hospital bills.
Chatta, speaking during a video conversation with crew members while on a movie set, explained how he couldn’t raise money for the hospital bills when the child was admitted to a hospital in the Iddo area of Lagos State.
Revisiting the incident, the actor said his late child was buried in a wooden Coca-Cola crate.
The video was shared on YouTube by Abiola Orisile Events & Parties.
Ibrahim Chatta said:
“Malik is not my firstborn. My first child is a baby girl. I lost her because I couldn’t pay the hospital bills.
“She was taken to the hospital in the Iddo area of Lagos State. I trekked from Ijora Badia to Makoko, and I couldn’t get any money until she died. My first child was buried in the old wooden crate of Coke.”
