The late young woman will be laid to rest in her father’s hometown in Enugu State.

Man Calls Out Nkem Owoh for Neglecting His Family
Recall that Nkem Owoh had been accused of neglecting his family, which allegedly contributed to the death of his daughter, Kosisochukwu.
A video surfaced online where a man, claiming to be related to the actor’s wife, accused him of being unkind to his family and failing to fulfill his responsibilities as the head of the household.
The man stated that the actor prioritized his career over his family. He further revealed that his late daughter, Kosisochukwu, had pleaded with her father multiple times to sponsor her treatment abroad as she battled liver cancer, but he took no action until she lost the fight.
The man also alleged that whenever Nkem Owoh was asked for assistance, he would claim to be busy with work on movie sets.
He went on to claim that the actor and his wife had been separated for over 15 years, resulting in him abandoning their children with their mother.
