Friends of Nafisat Hammed Allege Betrayal by Akin Olaiya and His New Wife
Friends of Nafisat Hammed, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Akin Olaiya, have released an audio recording accusing the actor and his new wife of betrayal. They claim the new wife, who served as a bridesmaid at Akin and Nafisat's wedding on June 29, 2025, deliberately snatched the husband from her friend.
The audio, which has circulated widely on social media, comes hours after Nafisat shared her own account of the marriage, alleging mistreatment, violence, and rumor-spreading. She also claimed the actor married a close friend.
Bridesmaid Accused of Deliberate Husband-Snatching
In the audio, Nafisat's friends assert that the bridesmaid arrived late to the wedding and later took over Nafisat's husband. When confronted, the bridesmaid admitted she intentionally snatched the husband because Nafisat had offended her. The friends described the new wife's actions as contrary to Yoruba culture, which they said does not condone taking another woman's husband.
They also criticized Akin Olaiya for refusing to address the allegations directly, instead posting dancing videos on social media, which they described as evil.
Nafisat Addresses Claims of Forced Marriage
The audio also addressed a viral video showing Nafisat looking upset on her wedding day. Her friends insisted she was not forced into the marriage but that an incident that morning angered her. Nafisat herself confirmed in the audio that she was not coerced.
According to the friends, Nafisat was not forced into the marriage. They said something happened on the wedding morning that upset her, but she entered the marriage willingly. Nafisat's own voice in the audio corroborates this, stating she was not forced.
