The mother of late Nollywood actress, Nimmy Ferrari, has alleged that members of her daughter’s paternal family are planning to sell the house the actress built before her death.
Nimmy reportedly died following complications arising from a fibroid surgery.
In a video circulating on social media, the grieving mother claimed that members of Nimmy’s father’s family opposed the actress being buried in the house she built.
She also alleged that Nimmy’s father failed to financially support his daughter’s education and medical treatment, claiming that she personally sponsored the actress through university.
According to her, a disagreement over Nimmy’s school fees once resulted in a physical altercation between her and the actress’ father, during which she sustained an injury to her head that required stitches.
The woman said she was contacted because she was the person who gave permission for Nimmy to be buried in the house.
She explained that because her daughter had no children, she believed burying her in the property would help preserve her legacy.
The grieving mother also denied having any personal interest in taking possession of the property, stressing that she already had a house of her own.
She alleged that members of Nimmy’s paternal family were planning to sell the property and appealed to Nigerians to intervene.
“Nigerians, save me from Nimota’s father’s family. They said Nimota should not be buried in her house. I had five children for their family, and it’s just Nimota left. Same Nimota, they have killed her,” she said.
“When she was at the hospital, I did not see anyone to drop a dime. Baba Nimota did not drop a dime; he did not send her to school. I sent her to school till she finished university. Her father did not pay her school fees. The stitches on my head, Baba Nimota did it, and it’s because of a school fees disagreement.”
She added: “They called me this evening because I’m the one who gave them permission to bury Nimota in her house. She does not have children, so her legacy will not be lost. That’s why I instructed them to bury her there.”
“I have my own house; there is nothing I want to use Nimota’s house for. Help me; they want to sell the house off. He did not spend a dime on her. They want to sell her house.”
