Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actress Peju Ogunmola has lost her only son, Ayomikun Shina, at the age of 24. The tragic incident reportedly occurred on Monday while Ogunmola was on a movie set. Her colleague, Odunlade Adekola, was the first to share the news on social media, expressing his grief and offering condolences to the family.
According to some reports, Shina died after slipping in the bathroom with no one at home to assist him. However, other sources indicate that the exact circumstances surrounding his death are still unclear.
Ayomikun Shina was 24 years old and had just completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, a milestone that had filled his mother with pride.
The death has sparked reactions from Peju Ogunmola’s colleagues in the industry.
Odunlade Adekola said “This is a big LOSS. God will console you ma …… and the whole family.”
