Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has made a post defending actress Funke Akindele following the death of actress, Jumoke Aderounmu.
Recall that after Jumoke’s death, his brother took to social media to call out Akindele. He described the actress as a hypocrite for sending condolence message following the death of Jumoke.
Jide Awobona refuted the late actress’ brother’s allegations that Funke Akindele neglected his sister during her sick days.
According to Jide, Funke Akindele reached out to him to speak with the late Jumoke.
In his words;
“I really don’t feel like saying anything about this but I need to let the world know that Aunty Funke called me to ask of Jumoke because she knows we were cool. She insisted I call her to be sure she was fine. I did, we spoke at length and I complained about her isolating herself. May her soul Rest In Peace and May God forgive us all.”
