Nollywood stars came together for a special prayer and Service of Songs to honour their late colleague and producer, Allwell Ademola
Videos circulating on social media showed actors Afeez Abiodun, Rotimi Salami, and Kunle Afod participating in the “wrap prayer” ceremony. Salami, known as one of Ademola’s closest friends in the industry, delivered an emotional tribute during the event.
“If there’s anyone Allwell has offended, directly or indirectly, please forgive her and keep praying for her,” Salami urged, holding back tears. He added, “I think the only thing we can actually do is to find a way, in unity, to keep her legacy. Even if she’s gone, let all that she has done stay with us and continue to inspire us.”
The Service of Songs also drew several notable figures in Nollywood. Actors such as Odunlade Adekola, Saheed Balogun, Bolaji Amusan, Abiola Adebayo, Iyabo Ojo, Fausat Balogun, Eniola Ajao, and Fathia Balogun were among those in attendance. Many attendees wore customised white T-shirts featuring Ademola’s portrait.
According to burial arrangements shared by the family, Thursday’s Service of Songs was followed by preparations for a candlelight procession, an Artistes’ Night, and closing remarks scheduled for 11:00 pm.
Ademola’s burial is set to take place on Friday at Atan Cemetery in Yaba, Lagos State. She reportedly passed away from a heart attack at her residence on December 27.
