CITIZENS COMPASS—Barely two months after she lost her only son, Ayomikun, Nollywood actress, Peju Ogunmola, has announced plans to return to the movie space.
Recall that Ayomikun was reported dead after a brief illness in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Ayomikun’s family through its spokesperson, Yemi Amodu, confirmed that his death followed a brief sickness urging members of the public to disregard the rumour stating otherwise.
Over the weekend, the Nollywood actress took to her Instagram page to share her grief with her fans.
“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.
“To my dearest fans, colleagues, family and supporters across the world, since the last two months ago that I lost my son, I’ve been in pain and bitterness, but as I was in that state, the whole world made me know that they are all behind me. I saw the love you showed me, I felt your prayers, and your care. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say a very big thank you to everyone across the world, I appreciate it.
“A gospel song says, ‘when it pleases us, you are the most high, and when it doesn’t please us, you are the most high God.’ I have surrendered all to God completely. Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
“Today, I rise again, not because the pain is gone, but because I know Ayomikun would want me to. My passion calls and it is time for me to return back to the screen where I belong. To all filmmakers, directors, producers and my industry colleagues out there, I’m back stronger and wiser.”
“Her return has generated a wave of emotional reactions from fans and colleagues, many offering prayers and support.
