Days after the news broke, Nimmy's mother appealed publicly to Nigerians, alleging that the paternal family was opposed to burying the actress at the house she had built and intended to exhume her remains and sell the property.
She also claimed that Nimmy's father had played no role in supporting her upbringing, education or medical care.
Nimmy Ferrari's father disputes allegations
On September 9, 2026, the grieving father took to social media with a video response, pushing back against each claim.
On the question of her medical situation, he said Nimmy Ferrari only informed him after she had already checked into hospital for fibroid surgery, and that he had recommended an alternative doctor in Abeokuta as the proposed procedure was quoted at 3.6 million naira.
Regarding the house, he explained that when Nimmy expressed a desire to own her own home, he consulted family elders, who agreed to set aside a portion of family land for her.
He also claimed that Nimmy specifically asked him to keep the arrangement from her mother, alleging that the first plot of land Nimmy had purchased through her mother was later sold by her mother.
In his words:
"I can't kill my child," he said in the video.
"She called me that she was already at the hospital for fibroid surgery. I asked why she didn't tell me earlier. I know people who treat it with herbs. She said they had already collected scan fees and the surgery would cost 3.6 million. And I suggested a doctor I know in Abeokuta instead. About the house, she called me and said she wanted to build her own house. I told the elders in the family and they said we should cut out a portion for her from our family land. While I was building the house for her, she begged me not to let her mother know about it. That the first land she bought through her mother. Her mother later sold the land."

Imam explains why he returned Ogogo’s N25m
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Chief Imam who returned N25 million entrusted to him by late actor Ogogo explained that the money was meant to renovate the actor’s grandfather’s house in Ogun State.
The cleric said Ogogo gave him the funds before his death, and he documented the arrangement and informed members of the actor’s family.
Seven days after Ogogo’s burial, the Imam met with the family and transferred the money to the actor’s elder brother following their agreement.
