Nollywood actor, Muyiwa Ademola, has explained why he was unable to attend the funeral of his cousin, Allwell Ademola, which took place in Lagos.
The actor disclosed that he was outside the country at the time of her burial, a situation that prevented him from being physically present to bid her farewell.
Muyiwa made this known via his Instagram page, where he shared a photo of Allwell’s burial site alongside an emotional tribute. In his message, he lamented missing her final journey and reflected on the fragility of life.
According to him, her passing served as a painful reminder that life is unpredictable and that each day brings people closer to their final moments on earth. He prayed for long life while offering heartfelt words in Yoruba in honour of his late cousin and departed family members.
Allwell Ademola reportedly died from a heart attack at her residence in Lagos on December 27, 2025, at the age of 49.
Her burial activities commenced on January 8, 2026, with a Service of Songs and a candlelight procession held at Lagos State Television (LTV 8) in Ikeja. Friends, colleagues, and fans gathered to celebrate her life and pay their last respects.
She was laid to rest the following day at Atan Cemetery, Yaba, Lagos.
