Peju Ogunmola: How, where her son died — Family

The family of Nigerian actress, Peju Ogunmola, has revealed details of how Sola Ayomikun Omobolanle, her only son with a comic, Sunday Omobolanle, popularly known as Papi Luwe, died.

The clarification came on the heels of reports that the 24-year-old died from a fall in a bathroom in the United States of America on September 1, 2025.

He was said not to have had anyone to assist him after the fall, leading to his death.

The clarification on the death of Ayomikun, who recently completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), was made by a member of the family, Yemi Amodu, in a statement on Friday.

In the statement, titled: “Setting the Record Straight on the Passing of Sola Ayomikun Omobolanle,” Amodu said: “It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved son, Sola Ayomikun Omobolanle (son of Sunday & Peju Ogunmola Omobolanle), a jewel, a precious child, and a rising star whose light shone brightly and touched many lives.

“His departure is a profound loss to our family and to all who knew and loved him.

“We wish to clearly state that Sola did not pass away as a result of any bathroom accident, contrary to false reports being circulated online.

“He was briefly unwell and, during this period, received first-class medical care.

“Despite the best efforts of the medical team, he peacefully answered the call of his Creator.

“He passed away at a hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria and has since been laid to rest at Eternal Rest Home.

“We strongly urge the public to disregard the unfounded claims being spread by some bloggers.

“These misleading stories, suggesting that Sola died from a fall in the bathroom without help, are entirely false.

“They not only dishonour his memory but also bring unnecessary pain to his loved ones.

“At this time of grief, we are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers and support we have received from family, friends, colleagues and well-wishers.

“Your kindness has been a source of strength and comfort.

“We pray that no family will ever have to endure the pain of untimely loss.

“May the Almighty grant Sola eternal rest and grant us all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
