Veteran Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh, popularly known as Osuofia is set to bury his second daughter who died of cancer on June 28th.
A distraught family member alleged the successful actor abandoned his family and was not bothered about the daughter’s sickness.
The source further alleged that the daughter, Miss Kosiso Nkem Owoh, begged her father repeatedly on the phone from her sickbed to fly her abroad for treatment, but he did nothing until she eventually lost the fight to cancer.
It was further alleged that the actor refused to take responsibility for her corpse after she passed on until the mortuary where the daughter’s corpse was kept issued an ultimatum.
According to a video that went viral on social media last month, an angry family member had this to say:
“Osuofia Nkem Owoh’s second daughter is dead, and he refused this responsibility. The mortuary where Osuofia’s daughter is gave only tomorrow to come and take the girl out from the mortuary. Please share the video so it gets to Nkem Owoh Osuofia.
“Osuofia I am not trying to tarnish your image. They are calling you a legend but you have abandoned your family. Your second daughter lost her life since the 28th of June on Sallah day and since then you’ve refused to answer your call or give attention.
“Tomorrow is the deadline for the mortuary to carry her. You neglected your family and your daughter died. We called you and you said you’re on set. Since then, nobody asked, nobody brought money. I don’t know what you did to your soul that made you abandon your family.”
It is unknown why Nkem Owoh allegedly abandoned his family and it is also unknown if the upcoming burial ceremony is funded by the veteran actor or other family members.
