Actors such as Damola Olatunji, Mr Latin, Faithia Williams, and Bidemi Kosoko were among the first to publicly pay tribute to the late actress, describing her as kind-hearted, talented, and full of life.
In an official statement shared by her close friend and colleague, Rotimi Salami, the Ademola family confirmed the sad news and revealed that Allwell Ademola was 49 years old at the time of her death.
