Grief as Patrick Doyle’s Newborn Daughter Dies Hours After Delivery

Patrick Doyle, a veteran Nollywood actor, has disclosed the devastating loss of his newborn baby.

Doyle, whose wife, Funmilayo, welcomed the child on Friday, announced the sad news in a social media post.

In his words: “Omayinuwa visited us briefly at about 10:40am on Friday, April 10, and returned to heaven on Saturday, April 11, at about 4:15pm.

“Her stay was short, but it brought great joy. We would have wished for a longer stay, but heaven thought otherwise. Sibe, Sibe Oluwa n’be’. It is well with our soul.”

The actor had earlier shared news of the baby girl’s birth in a Facebook post on Saturday, expressing gratitude to God.

“To the glory of God, I announce the precious addition of a female child to my quiver.

“OMAYINUWA MAYEN HARRIET DOYLE was born yesterday at about 10:40am. Mother and child are doing well, and daddy is overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to God Almighty,” he wrote.

Before the infant’s death, fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry sent congratulations greetings.
