Diewait Ikpechukwu’s Daughter Asks for Privacy After His Death

Chiamaka Yusuf, daughter of late Nollywood actor Diewait Ikpechukwu, has appealed to the public and the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to give her family space to mourn privately.

The appeal followed reports that the veteran actor had died at the age of 71 after a prolonged illness. Kemi Filani had earlier reported his death, which prompted messages and public attention from fans and colleagues.

Chiamaka, who is also known as Chiamax, responded in an emotional video shared on her Instagram page. She asked people to respect the family’s privacy as they come to terms with their loss.

She also appealed to the AGN to take down an alleged burial announcement poster featuring her father. Chiamaka said she wanted to be the one to officially announce his passing, rather than have the news shared by others without her consent.

Her request reflects the family’s desire to manage the announcement and mourning process privately during a difficult time.
