Adebayo made this announcement to the public on her Instagram page on Thursday in a statement titled “Miss Adenike Adewodun’s ‘Fake Death’ Antics.”
Adebayo wrote, “The case of Miss Adenike, while tragic, serves as a learning curve for us. She sent a message, was asked to come, and we offered to get her therapy, but she panicked, and in a very devilish and ungodly manner, she faked her death.
“After the fake death news, we tried to locate her house to properly express our deepest and sincerely condolences, but it was difficult to even pen a condolence letter. The presenter and producer, Abiola Adebayo, was both emotionally and mentally disturbed for days.” Actress Adebayo laments.
Freedom Times further gathered it’s report, stating that Actress Adebayo detailed the news while mourning the reported death of Adewodun, she and her team noticed inconsistencies in the stories surrounding her death.
“During our mourning period, we detected discrepancies between the accounts given by her so called ‘Sister’ and her ‘Friend’, which raised us to be suspicious.”
“We sent the Show’s Director on a fact-finding mission, who spoke with the friend and then traced the hospital where she was allegedly treated. It was there that we learned she hadn’t died,” Actress Adebayo explained.
Following this discovery, Abiola immediately reports the matter to the Nigeria Police Force, which has lead to the arrest of Adewodun and her friend who had announced her death.
Upon interrogation, Adewodun admitted to faking her death to escape the public backlash from her podcast confession.
“Our attorney submitted a petition to the Police regarding the situation, and the Police promptly investigated and arrested both Adenike and her friend.”
During interrogation, Adenike admitted to approaching Actress Adebayo for the interview but was panicking when people recognized her.
She thought that if she pretended to be dead, Adebayo would delete the video totally.
When the police asked if she had requested Biola to take down the video, she admitted that she had not.
“Her mother, who was present at the station, confirmed this story,” while the statement continues.
In June, Adebayo shared the news of the woman’s alleged suicide. Reflecting on her emotions.
“For the first time in my life, I feel like a failure after overheard that Adenike is died. The lady I just interviewed, who said she slept with dogs, has committed suicide. People heard her story and criticized me, accusing us of fabricating it. I listened to her, but she never told me she was going to die,” Adebayo emotionally finalised.

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have said that its body has apprehended a wanted drug baron, Alhaji Suleiman Ganiu Aremu (a.k.a Barryshine), two years after he came under the radar of the anti-narcotics agency over his alleged role in four failed attempts to export cocaine to Saudi Arabia and Qatar through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos between 2022 and 2024.
The agency who disclosed this in a statement via its spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, on Friday, September 13, said that, the suspect is the Managing Director/CEO of Barryshine Suleiman Nigeria Ltd.
Shading more light to the case, the agency elucidated that, his name first featured on November 13, 2022, when a female passenger on a Qatar Airlines flight to Saudi Arabia, Alhaja Ajisegiri Kehinde Sidika was arrested at the MMIA in possession of 400 grams of cocaine, which was concealed inside female footwear.
Furthermore, the agency claimed that, an investigation later revealed that one Abdullahi Olarenwaju Ramon, who is a brother to Suleiman hired the arrested drug courier as further facts emerged that the flight tickets and other travel expenses of the suspect were sourced by Alhaji Suleiman Ganiu Aremu.
Nevertheless, few days after the arrest of Ajisegiri Kehinde Sidika, another drug mule, identified as Lawal Lateef Oyenuga, was also arrested on November 24, 2022, with the same quantity of cocaine, 400 grams, concealed in male footwear while going to the same destination, Saudi Arabia.
Although, NDLEA noted that the suspect, Oyenuga confessed that one Wasiu Sanni Gbolahan (a.k.a Teacher) who was later arrested and convicted by the court, hired him for Suleiman.
The agency said “Lawal further alleged that Wasiu Gbolahan linked him up with the baron through one Igbono, who was later unveiled through investigation as Oluwafemi Akande Abidoye (a.k.a Igbono, Murphy, Femi Iwaya, Ade Iwaya, Baba Eje, and Ejeoto)”
Furthermore, While the investigation of the two cases subsisted and the manhunt for the baron was ongoing, two drug mules were arrested at the MMIA on June 21, 2024, on their way to Doha, Qatar.
“One of the suspects who was later identified as Aikhomoun Daniel (a.k.a Oladapo Olanrewaju) expelled in observation custody a total of 90 pellets of cocaine, weighing 1.022kg, which he ingested, while the second suspect, Ayigoro Waheed Omobolaji excreted 60 wraps of cocaine with a total weight of 662 grams.” the NDLEA said.
