The family of Nollywood actress, Peju Ogunmola, has explained the real cause of the death of her son, Ayomikun, after different claims surfaced online.
The young man’s passing shocked the entertainment industry earlier in the week, with social media reports suggesting he died after slipping in a bathroom in the United Kingdom.
In a statement issued by family spokesperson, Yemi Amodu, on Friday, it was confirmed that Ayomikun died in Ibadan after a brief illness.
He was said to have received proper medical attention before his death and was later buried at Eternal Rest Home in the Oyo State capital.
The family dismissed the circulating reports of a bathroom accident, describing them as untrue and hurtful.
