Veteran actor Patrick Doyle has lost his newborn daughter, Omayinuwa Doyle.
The baby girl passed away on Saturday, April 11, just a day after her birth.
Doyle announced the news on Facebook on Sunday, expressing gratitude for the brief time his family had with their daughter.
He also shared his family’s faith and resilience in the face of their loss.
“Omayinuwa visited us briefly at about 10:40 am on Friday, 10th of April, and returned to heaven on Saturday, 11th of April, at about 4:15 pm. Her stay was short, but it brought great joy with it. We would have wished for a longer stay, but alas, heaven thought otherwise,” he wrote.
He added, “This much we know, though, God still rules in the affairs of men. Our faith in the goodness of God remains resolute regardless. Sibe’ sibe’ Oluwa n’be’. It is well with our soul.”
The actor had recently welcomed the child with his new wife, Funmilayo Doyle.
Fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with condolences and prayers for the grieving family.
