Veteran Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh, has broken silence following the demise of his 24-year-old daughter, Kosisochukwu.

The movie star was called out in July for abandoning his family, which allegedly led to the death of his daughter.

A man in a video shared on social media alleged that the actor had been unkind to his family and had refused to fulfil his responsibilities as the head of the household.

The man who claimed to be related to the wife of the actor accused him of prioritizing his career over his family.

According to him, the actor’s late daughter, Kosisochukwu, who died battling liver cancer, had countless times begged her father to sponsor her treatment abroad. Still, he did nothing until she eventually lost the fight.

In a post via his Instagram page, Nkem Owoh expressed gratitude to everyone who had shown love and support to his family in their grief.

The movie star stated that nothing is more heartening when tragedy strikes than knowing that one is not alone.

Nkem added that his daughter’s death is a change he didn’t anticipate, and he feels an acute sense of loss.
