Ibrahim Chatta Reveals He Lost His First Child Due to Inability to Pay Hospital Bills
Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has stated that his firstborn died in a Lagos hospital because he couldn’t afford hospital bills.
Chatta, speaking during a video conversation with crew members while on a movie set, explained that all efforts to raise money when the child was admitted to a hospital in the Iddo area of Lagos State proved abortive.
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.
He said, “Malik is not my firstborn. My first child is a baby girl. I lost her because I couldn’t pay 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.”
The revelation has stirred heartfelt reactions across social media, as fans express sympathy and admiration for Chatta’s honesty in sharing such a deeply personal and painful experience.
