The Nigerian movie industry has been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of Shina, the only son of veteran Yoruba actress, Peju Ogunmola.
The tragic incident occurred on Monday while the actress was on a movie set. According to reports, Ogunmola was informed that an actor had been rushed to the hospital. However, upon arrival, she was devastated to learn that it was her own son who had passed away.
Shina’s death came only weeks after he completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program — a milestone that had filled his mother with pride.
Ogunmola, a respected figure in Nollywood, has for decades distinguished herself in Yoruba films and stage productions. Her immense talent and contributions have earned her a prominent place in the industry.
The heartbreaking news has left her colleagues, friends, and fans in deep shock. Tributes have continued to pour in across social media platforms, with many describing Shina’s death as not just a personal tragedy for Ogunmola but also a painful loss to the Nollywood family.
