Chiamaka, the daughter of late veteran Nollywood actor Diewait Ikpechukwu, has appealed to the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to remove its announcement of her father’s death, insisting that the family should be allowed to make the announcement themselves.

The emotional appeal came shortly after news of the actor’s death became public, with Chiamaka expressing displeasure over the guild’s decision to publish a condolence post before the family had made its own announcement.

Naija News reports that Ikpechukwu reportedly died on Thursday following a battle with an undisclosed illness.

In a video reacting to the guild’s post, Chiamaka appealed directly to the organisation, explaining that she wanted to be the person to announce her father’s passing.

Chiamaka Appeals to AGN to Take Down Her Father’s Death Announcement

Reacting to the condolence post, Chiamaka questioned why the Actors Guild of Nigeria had announced her father’s death without allowing the family to make the announcement first.

She made a direct appeal to the guild, saying:

Please take down the post.

She further insisted that the announcement should come from her rather than the organisation.

Let me be the one to announce my papa’s death.

Her request highlighted her desire for the family to have control over how the news of their loss was communicated publicly.

In the emotional video, Chiamaka also appealed to members of the movie industry and the general public not to publish her father’s photographs or contact her during what she described as a difficult period.

She specifically addressed the Actors Guild of Nigeria, making it clear that she did not want the organisation posting about her father.

She said:

Please, Actors’ Guild, I don’t want you guys posting my daddy.

She continued by pleading with people not to publish anything about her father.

Make nobody post my papa, please.

Chiamaka also explained how difficult it was for her to record the video while dealing with the loss.

This is a very hard video for me to make.

She subsequently asked people not to contact her during the period of grief.

Nobody should call me; nobody should post my daddy’s poster.

Her appeal reflected the emotional difficulty surrounding the announcement and her request for privacy as the family processes the loss.

Chiamaka Reveals She Is Still Wearing Her Father’s Shirt

Further expressing her grief, Chiamaka disclosed that she was still wearing her father’s shirt while recording the video.

The revelation added an emotional dimension to her appeal, as she again asked the guild to remove its condolence announcement and allow her to make the announcement herself.

She said:

I’m still wearing my daddy’s shirt.

Repeating her request to the organisation, she added:

Take that post down, please.

She again emphasised that she wanted to announce her father’s death personally.

Let me be the one to announce my papa’s death.

Concluding her appeal, Chiamaka said:

I don’t want you guys to do that for me.

Her repeated requests underscored her desire for the family to determine how and when the news of the actor’s death would be formally communicated.

AGN President Abubakar Sanusi Yakubu Earlier Announced the Actor’s Death

Meanwhile, the National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Abubakar Sanusi Yakubu, had earlier announced Diewait Ikpechukwu’s death in an Instagram tribute.

Naija News had reported that the guild president shared the tribute on Friday, November 6, 2026, describing the late actor as another legend who had bowed out.

He also reflected on the memories the actor left behind, noting that they would remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

The announcement prompted Chiamaka’s subsequent reaction, in which she asked the guild to take down its post and allow the family to make the announcement themselves.

Chiamaka’s Request Highlights the Family’s Wish for Privacy

The development has brought attention to the importance of respecting the wishes of grieving families when news of a loved one’s death becomes public.

Although the AGN president had shared a condolence tribute, Chiamaka’s video made clear that she wanted the family to handle the announcement in its own way.

Her appeal was not simply about removing a social media post. She repeatedly asked the organisation and members of the public to refrain from publishing her father’s photographs or contacting her.

For the family, the immediate priority appears to be having the space to process the loss and communicate the news on their own terms.

As the situation develops, the central request from Chiamaka remains that the guild respect the family’s wishes concerning the announcement of Diewait Ikpechukwu’s death.
