Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has called out filmmaker Bola Akande following the death of his junior colleague, Ola Lawal.
According to reports, the upcoming actor died while shooting a movie for the filmmaker.
Reacting to the news, Adeniyi, via his Instagram page, expressed how shocked and saddened he is by Ola’s passing, calling out the filmmaker for her silence. He, however, made it clear that he isn’t blaming the filmmaker for his death but urges her to acknowledge the situation, share her side of the story, and consider supporting his family.
He disclosed that the deceased’s father is feeling disrespected, citing a lack of human feeling from her by requesting his account balance shortly after Ola’s passing.
Johnson stated that he and others demand justice for the deceased and a proper burial and will keep pushing for accountability.
“SAD! SAD!! SAD!!!
@bolaakande02 has refused to make a comment or post about this incident. We’re shocked and saddened by OLA’s passing. Your silence is deafening. We’re not blaming you for his death, but we urge you to acknowledge the situation, share your side of the story, and consider supporting the family. The father feels disrespected, citing a lack of human feeling by requesting the brother’s account number shortly after OLA’s passing, as if he were for sale. Mr. @segunokeowo_kso has been the sole caller, showing empathy. We demand justice for OLA’s dignity and a proper burial. We’ll keep pushing for accountability”.
A few weeks back, Adeniyi had called out his colleague, Habeeb Alagbe, over his steamy kiss with Seyi Edun in a movie. He questioned if the actor didn’t know that his wife is married, and questioned when he came into the industry and is already having the audacity to do anything he wants.
Last year, The African Men Entertainment Kings (AFRIMEK), led by Femi Adebayo, had suspended Johnson indefinitely for gross misconduct and breach of the club’s constitution.
Reacting to the news, Johnson expressed sadness that his honourable club made such a derogatory post about him. He stated that though he wasn’t bigger than the club, there had been Adeniyi Johnson before the club and the post they made about him could cause harm. He noted how such a post was detrimental to his name, his family and most importantly, his brand.
