Actor Saidi Balogun loses daughter


On Saturday, Saidi shared a sombre post on Instagram, featuring an image of a candle surrounded by flowers, accompanied by a heartbroken emoji.

Reports indicate that the actor was in the middle of a stage performance at Terra Kulture on Friday when he received the news of Zinat’s passing.

Faithia Williams, Saidi’s ex-wife and Zinat’s former stepmother expressed her grief on Instagram.

“Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un” (from Allah we come, and to Him we shall return),” she wrote.

Ronke Oshodi, Saidi’s colleague, took to her page to pay tribute to the family.

“No words can ease the pain of losing someone so precious. My heart goes out to you, @saidibalogun, during this incredibly difficult time. May you find strength in the love and support surrounding you,” Oshodi wrote.

Chioma Omeruah, the comedian popularly known as Chigul, also offered condolences via Saidi’s comment section. She wrote, “So sorry, sir. May the Almighty send healing and comfort.”

Other notable actors, including Kunle Afod, Yomi Fash-Lanso, and Adeniyi Johnson, have extended their sympathies.

The cause of Zinat’s death has not been disclosed.

Zinat was Saidi’s first child from his previous marriage to Sherifat.

Before this loss, the actor was a father of four children.
