Actress Peju Ogunmola has announced return to acting, months after the death of her only child, Ayomikun.
In a video posted to her Instagram account on Friday, Ogunmola described the past months as “heavy” but said public support had sustained her.
“A new month, a new dawn. The past months have been heavy, but your love, prayers, and condolences have carried me through the storm. Today I rise, stronger, grateful, and ready to embrace my passion again.
The screens have missed me… and I’m back, doing what I love most,” she said.
The actress’s son died in Ibadan in September following a brief illness, family spokesperson Yemi Amodu confirmed at the time.
The statement refuted earlier online speculation about the cause of death.
Ogunmola, a fixture in Yoruba cinema for decades, had stepped away from public appearances since the loss.
Her return announcement drew immediate reactions from colleagues and fans.
