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.”

Meanwhile, Ibrahim Chatta recently clarified controversies about why he has never been considered for the prestigious Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) despite his decades-long career in the film industry.

Chatta was nominated for the Best Lead Actor category for his role in ‘House of GAA’, but lost the award to his colleague, Femi Adebayo, who starred in ‘Seven Doors.

In a recent interview on the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask‘ podcast, the 54-year-old thespian said his non-involvement with the AMVCA is by choice, explaining that he has never submitted any of his works for consideration.

The movie star stated that he is uninterested in the award or going to the award ceremony and will not be praying for something he has no interest in.
