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.
