Allwell’s brother begs Iyabo Ojo, seeks peace after social media accusations

Emotions ran high following the death of Nollywood actress Allwell, as a public disagreement between her brother and some of her colleagues took an unexpected turn during her Service of Songs.

Earlier, Allwell’s brother had called out several Nollywood actors for sharing tributes and photos of his late sister, questioning how many of them genuinely supported her while she was alive. In his emotional outburst, he mentioned names including Iyabo Ojo and Lateef Adedimeji, accusing them of benefitting from Allwell’s kindness but failing to cast her in their films.

Responding to the allegation, Iyabo Ojo explained that she had supported the late actress during her early days, particularly when Allwell was trying to establish herself as a producer and director. She maintained that her relationship with Allwell went beyond social media appearances.

However, a moment of reconciliation played out during Allwell’s Service of Songs, where her brother publicly addressed the issue. In a video that has since gone viral, he was seen apologising to Iyabo Ojo, clarifying that he never intended to insult her. Overcome with emotion, he almost prostrated before the actress as a sign of respect.

Iyabo Ojo immediately asked him to stand up and embraced him, drawing applause from those present.

The touching moment appeared to ease the tension and reflected a call for unity and understanding amid the grief surrounding Allwell’s passing.
