By Tosin Brown –

Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has narrated how his first child, a girl, died in a Lagos hospital because he couldn’t afford the 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.

He said, “Malik is not my firstborn. My first child is a baby girl. I lost her because I couldn’t pay the hospital bills.”

“She was taken to a 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 an old wooden crate of Coke.”
