Peju Ogunmola set to return to film set after son’s death
By Tosin Brown –
Veteran Nigerian actress Peju Ogunmola is set to return to the film set again.
This comes a few months after the passing of her son with Sunday Omobolanle, popularly known as Papi Luwe.
In a recent video shared online, she said, “Today I rise again. It is time for me to return to the screen where I belong — not because the pain is gone, but because I know my son would want me to.”
“Since the past two months that I lost my only son, I have been in depression and sadness,” she added.
Continuing, she said, “But as I was mourning my son, the whole world made me know that they are behind me. I saw all the love they showed me — their prayers and their gifts. I am very grateful. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say a big thank you to everyone.”
“A new month, a new dawn. The past months have been heavy, but your love, prayers, and condolences have carried me through the storm. Today I rise, stronger, grateful, and ready to embrace my passion again. The screens have missed me… and I’m back, doing what I love most.”
Peju’s only child, Oluwanisola Ayomikun Omobolanle, passed away on September 2, 2025, at the age of 24. His demise has since thrown the Omobolanle family into mourning.
