A Nollywood actress and podcaster, Abiola Adebayo has revealed that a young lady who reportedly killed herself after admitting on a podcast to engaging in sexual activities with her dogs as a result of addiction stemming from past trauma faked her death.
Adebayo said the lady, identified as Adenike Adewodun, faked her death in an attempt to escape the public backlash and legal consequences of her actions.
The actress made this known in a statement she released on her Instagram page on Thursday, titled “Miss Adenike Adewodun’s ‘Fake Death Antics”.
She wrote, “The case of Miss Adenike, while tragic, is a learning curve for us. She sent a message and was asked to come and we offered to get her therapy and all but she freaked out and in a very devilish and
ungodly manner faked her death.
“After the fake death news, we tried to locate her house to properly express our deepest condolences but it was difficult to even pen a condolence letter and the presenter and producer Abiola Adebayo was both emotionally and mentally
disturbed for days.”
The actress explained that while mourning her death, she and her crew noticed some inconsistencies in the stories of her death and investigation revealed that she was alive.
“In the course of properly mourning her, we noticed some discrepancies in what her so-called ‘sister’ was telling us and what her friend was saying because we felt something was amiss.
“We dispatched the director of the show on a fact-finding mission who spoke with the friend before he traced the hospital where she was supposed to have been treated and we were told there and then that she didn’t die,” she said.
Police Force was petitioned, adding that Adewodun and her friend who announced her death were arrested.
Upon interrogation, Adewodun confessed to faking her death due to the backlash she received from the public after the podcast.
