Nollywood stars attend Allwell Ademola’s service of songs

Nollywood actors and actresses have gathered for a special prayer and Service of Songs for their late colleague and producer, Allwell Ademola.

In videos circulating on social media, actors Afeez Abiodun, Rotimi Salami, and Kunle Afod were seen participating in the “wrap prayer.”

Salami, widely recognised as one of Ademola’s closest friends in the industry, delivered a tribute at the event.

“If there’s anyone Allwell has offended, directly or indirectly, please, forgive her and keep praying for her,” Salami urged the crowd while holding back his tears.

He also emphasised the importance of maintaining her impact on the industry, adding, “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 be with us.”

The Service of Songs was also attended by notable figures in the industry.
