Renowned Nollywood actress Ronke Odusanya has shared details about the alleged role a close friend played in the breakdown of her marriage to Saheed Olarewaju, widely known as Jago.

Speaking with her colleague, Bimpe Akintunde, Odusanya revealed how damaging accusations made by this friend led to distrust and ultimately contributed to the end of her marriage.

Odusanya claimed her friend falsely informed Jago that she intended to leave him and pursue a life in prostitution.

Furthermore, the friend alleged that she was romantically involved with a senator and had taken their daughter, Fife, to spend a night at the senator’s house.

Reflecting on these events, the actress recounted her disbelief and distress upon hearing the accusations. “A friend of mine told him that I wanted to leave him and go into prostitution. That when I left that night, I went to sleep in a senator’s house with Fife. When he told me, my mouth was left open,” she said.

To counter the accusations, Odusanya gathered evidence, recording her location and timestamped moments with her daughter, which she later shared with Jago. Despite these efforts, she noted that the ordeal left her in a vulnerable position financially and emotionally. “When we left, I didn’t have up to N10,000 in my account… all my jewelry was taken away,” she revealed, adding that she struggled to find a new place to stay.

Odusanya also mentioned that Jago later regretted listening to her friend’s claims, realizing the harm they had caused.

Veteran actor, Chinedu Okeke has given reasons why he abandoned Nollywood.

Read him:

“See, there are certain roles you play in movies that make you stigmatised with it.

“I was very cool playing the bad boy, hitman roles until fans started saying, ‘see that thief for film’ when they saw me off cam.

“I live a very responsible life and I am educated, I tried to talk to directors to see if they could place me elsewhere but every role was about crimes.

“I had to take my leave because I can do better.”

Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, also known as Speed Darlington, has finally regained his freedom.
Disclosing this on Tuesday, activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju said Darlington, also referred to as Akpi, has left Kuje Prison.

Posting on X, Adeyanju wrote: “Speed Darlington is out of Kuje Prison.”

Recently, an Abuja court granted Speed Darlington bail.

This followed the Nigeria Police Force yielding to pressure and arraigning him in court.

Okoye had earlier petitioned DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, Abuja, over his continued detention.

In his petition, Okoye urged the DIG to comply with a court order challenging his prolonged detention by the police.

The controversial singer had been arrested after accusing Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy of having an immoral relationship with embattled United States rapper and music executive Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy.

However, Justice M.S. Liman, in an order issued on December 23, 2024, directed the police to either charge Okoye in court within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
