"Let Me Be The One To Announce My Papa’s Death" — Diewait Ikpechukwu’s Daughter Begs AGN

The daughter of late Nollywood actor Diewait Ikpechukwu has asked the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to take down its post announcing her father’s death.

Chiamaka, popularly known as Chiamax, made the appeal in an emotional video shared on her Instagram page, hours after news of the actor’s death emerged.

Chiamaka pleaded with the guild to allow her the honor of being the one to make the formal announcement. She stated that it was a very hard video for her to make, adding that she was still wearing her father's shirt at the time.

She also asked the public not to call her or post her father’s poster, reiterating her request for the AGN to take the post down.

She aid:
"Please take down the post. Let me be the one to announce my papa’s death."

"Please, Actors Guild, I don’t want you guys posting my daddy. Please don’t post my papa. This is a very hard video for me to make. Nobody should call me, nobody should post my daddy’s poster."

"I’m still wearing my daddy’s shirt. Take that post down, please. Let me be the one to announce my papa’s death. I don’t want you guys to do that for me."

The Nigerian Voice recalls that veteran actor Diewait Ikpechukwu is dead. The news of his demise was made public by the National President of the AGN, Alhaji Abubakar Sanusi Yakubu, on Friday, noting that the actor passed away after a prolonged illness.
