A brother to the late Nollywood actress, Aderounmu Adejumoke, Adeola has granted an interview to The Punch newspaper detailing why a senior colleague, Funke Akindele, has stopped featuring her in her movies.

Adeola in the interview explained that he never reached out to Funke Akindele because he doesn’t have her number and wasn’t close to her either so that relationship isn’t there. He however disclosed that the deceased made efforts to no avail and even sent another actress Paschaline Alex to her, but all her efforts were fruitless.

Explaining further why Funke stopped inviting her Adejumoke’s brother said the deceased could not understand and made efforts in order for her to retrace her steps but no headway.

At the moment of need, two of her colleagues – Rita Dominic and Sotayo Gaga were said to have been there for her.

On Adejumoke’s personality, he said she was an introvert hence kept to herself and was never sick but just passed away in her sleep. Before her death, she was planning to relocate to the United Kingdom, he said further.

Read in details excerpts from the interview with The Punch newspaper:

“I did not reach out to Funke Akindele because I didn’t have her phone number and I am not close to her but my sister had her number and even sent another actress, Paschaline Alex to her, all to no avail. Funke stopped calling her for jobs and Jumoke tried to know why because she wanted to retrace her steps if she had committed any offense.

Only two of her colleagues, Rita Dominic and Tayo Sobola came through for her in her time of need. She was an introvert and usually kept to herself. She was not sick. She just passed away in her sleep. She was planning on relocating to the United Kingdom before her demise.

We have buried her but the family will organize a tribute event in church on the 40th day after her death”.
