Truetells Nigeria reported that the movie star was called out in July for abandoning his family, which allegedly led to the death of his daughter.
A man in a video shared on social media alleged that the actor had been unkind to his family and had refused to fulfil his responsibilities as the head of the household.
The man who claimed to be related to the wife of the actor accused him of prioritizing his career over his family.
According to him, the actor’s late daughter, Kosisochukwu, who died battling liver cancer, had countless times begged her father to sponsor her treatment abroad. Still, he did nothing until she eventually lost the fight.
In a post via his Instagram page, Nkem Owoh expressed gratitude to everyone who had shown love and support to his family in their grief.
The movie star stated that nothing is more heartening when tragedy strikes than knowing that one is not alone.
Nkem added that his daughter’s death is a change he didn’t anticipate, and he feels an acute sense of loss.
However, with the encouragement he has been receiving, he will get through the difficult time.
He said, “I want to thank you all for the support and love shown to me and my family. When tragedy strikes, there is nothing more heartening than knowing that you’re not alone.
“It was with deep gratitude that I received your note, and calls with condolences. We have seen many changes over the years. But this is a change I did not anticipate and I am feeling an acute sense of loss.
“However, I know that because of your encouragement, I will get through this time. Thank you for helping to push me through my grief.”
