Nigerian reality TV star Hermes Iyele announced the passing of his mother, Isioma, on November 6, 2024, via Instagram.
He shared emotional photos and requested financial support for the funeral proceedings.
Hermes wrote, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I’d like to make public the passing of my beloved mum ISIOMA PHEBIAN IYELE on the 5th of November 2024. I’m doing this so I can properly start my grief and also because I currently lack the strength or capacity (mentally and finance-wise) to handle this situation.
He received the news while on a work trip, which left him destabilized. Hermes requested patience and understanding during his grieving process.
“I’m currently on a work trip and got the news in transit. I’m trying as much as I can to function in the regard of duty that has brought me here whilst trying to do my part of what needs to be done to see this tragedy through, so pls be patient with me as I won’t be able to respond to calls and texts for the time being.
