A month ago, Ibrahim Chatta was deeply humbled by a visit from the Oyo State National Police Force to his film village.
He shared a video of the visit, expressing his gratitude and revealing that they discussed community security, combating piracy, and regulating sensitive movie props in Oyo State.
This gesture is a testament to his influence, which was previously overlooked by the AMVCA awards last year despite his notable role in Femi Adebayo’s film “King of Thieves”.
Many Nigerians took to social media to express their disappointment, praising Ibrahim Chatta as a talented actor known for his impressive role interpretations.
Ibrahim Chatta’s baby mama, Olayinka Solomon, publicly criticized the AMVCA organizers for snubbing him in their nominations.
She demanded that they disclose their award criteria, highlighting Ibrahim’s versatility as an actor.
Ibrahim himself expressed disappointment, not over the lack of recognition, but rather for not receiving an invitation to the ceremony.
He humbly acknowledged that there are actors better than him, but questioned why his junior colleagues received invitations while he did not.
