The family of veteran Nollywood actress Peju Ogunmola has finally broken their silence on the cause of death of her only child, Ayomikun Omobolanle, also known as Sola.
Contrary to reports circulating online that Ayomikun died in a bathroom accident in the UK, the family revealed that he passed away after a brief illness in Ibadan, Nigeria.

In a statement signed by family spokesperson Yemi Amodu, the family expressed deep sorrow over Ayomikun’s passing, describing him as a “jewel, a precious child, and a rising star whose light shone brightly and touched many lives.” The family clarified that Ayomikun received top-notch medical care during his illness but unfortunately succumbed to his condition at a hospital in Ibadan. He has since been laid to rest at Eternal Rest Home.
The statement read: “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.”
The family strongly urged the public to disregard the false reports and speculations surrounding Ayomikun’s death, stating that these claims not only dishonor his memory but also cause unnecessary pain to his loved ones. They expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
