Her colleagues, including Iyabo Ojo and Lateef Adedimeji, took to social media to express their shock and condolences. However, the deceased’s brother has accused these A-list actors of hypocrisy, stating that they did not support his sister while she was alive.
In a viral video, Allwell’s brother criticized the actors for posting condolences messages and pictures of his sister on their social media pages, despite not supporting her during her lifetime. He questioned how many of them had promoted her movies or hired her for their film projects. The brother also recalled how his sister had supported many of these actors when they were starting out in the industry, but they did not reciprocate the gesture.
