Nollywood actress Oluwafunlayo Obafemi has recounted a terrifying incident in which her husband allegedly fired a gun at a window while actor Odunlade Adekola was inside her home during a film shoot. Adekola escaped by scaling the fence, an act Obafemi attributed to divine intervention.
Shoot Location Change Led to Confrontation
During an interview with Feelrightnews TV on Tuesday, Obafemi explained that the incident began when the film crew she was working with had to abandon their original shooting location because the chair needed for a particular scene was not available there. Since her home was nearby, she offered it as an alternative venue.
Obafemi said she chose not to notify her husband about the change of location, reasoning that the filming would wrap up before he returned home. That calculation proved wrong when a neighbour reportedly tipped him off, prompting him to head back to the house in a rage.
Husband Allegedly Fired at Window
She alleged that her husband stormed in armed with a gun and fired a shot at a window while Adekola was still inside the property. The veteran actor reportedly had no option but to scale the fence to get away.
Obafemi stated: "One day we went to shoot a movie. When we arrived at the venue, the chair we wanted to use was not suitable for the work. My house was nearby so we decided to shoot there. I did not tell my husband because I knew he would not be back in time to watch the shooting but thought we would have finished before he returned. But one of my neighbour told him and he came back angrily. He stormed into the house and shot at the window. It was God that saved Odunlade Adekola as he escaped through the fence."
Actress Credits Divine Intervention
Obafemi described Adekola's escape as nothing short of miraculous, saying she believes only divine intervention kept him from being seriously harmed. She characterised the moment as a genuine close call for the actor.
In a related development, Legit.ng earlier reported that reality star Bamike Olawunmi, popular as Bambam, shared videos from her time in the UK. The videos showed Odunlade Adekola dedicating his time to film her on the streets of the United Kingdom. The stars were part of the cast for the No Wahala Therapy stage play held at Gateway House in Woolwich, along with Timini Egbuson, Ronke Oshodi-Oke, Lady Motara and others.
