By Folashade Olorunfemi –

Veteran Nollywood actor, Patrick Doyle, has announced the passing of his newborn daughter, Omayinuwa, a day after announcing her arrival into the family.

The actor had earlier announced his daughter’s birth via his Facebook page on Saturday, stating that he and his wife, Olufunmilayo, had welcomed their first child together.

However, in another heartfelt Facebook post shared on Sunday, Patrick announced the passing of the baby shortly after her birth. He noted that though her stay was short-lived, her birth brought great joy into their lives.

He posted:

“Omayinuwa visited us briefly at about 10:40 am on Friday, 10th April, and returned to heaven on Saturday, 11th April, at about 4:15 pm. Her stay was short, but it brought great joy with it. We would have wished for a longer stay, but alas, heaven thought otherwise.”

The actor reaffirmed his unwavering faith in God in spite of the situation.

“This much we know, though: God still rules in the affairs of men. Our faith in the goodness of God remains resolute regardless.

Sibe’ sibe’ Oluwa n’be’. It is well with our soul.”
