Tears Flow As Actress Allwell Ademola Is Buried

By Akinwale Kasali

Nollywood Actress, Producer and Director, Allwell Ademola who died of Cardiac Arrest on December 27, 2025, has been buried at Atan Cemetery, Yaba, Lagos State. She was laid to rest on Friday, January 9, as tears rolled down the cheeks of colleagues, families, fans and friends.

Her colleagues from the film industry, including Afeez Abiodun, Rotimi Salami, Kunle Afod, and Abiola Adebayo, among others, attended the burial to pay their last respects to the actress, who was widely known for her role as “Mama Kate” in the 2018 film “Ile Wa.”

The visibly emotional colleagues of the deceased broke down in tears as they poured sand on her coffin, which had already been lowered into the grave.

During a brief sermon at the cemetery, the Pastor who officiated urged attendees to reflect on their lives while they still had the opportunity.

He said the burial served as a reminder that everyone would one day face the same end.

He added that the moment should prompt deep reflection on how one’s life journey would conclude, particularly for those harbouring malice or engaging in wrongdoing.

The Pastor said, “Then you will discover that nobody has time. The will of God is that this should help us mend our ways before our Maker. He said the righteous will always consider this in their hearts. What are we going to do with this? She has lived her life. She has run the race and has gone to meet her maker, but what we are doing here is for you and me. As for her, she is rejoicing in the bosom of Abraham.

“How will you end your journey? That malice, wickedness, “I will not agree” — who knows what is next? That is the million-dollar question before us today. Because in the next few days, nature has a way of putting forgetfulness in things. But will you remember that one day it will be my turn, just as it is her turn today? What God expects of us when we see things like this is to look up to God and say, ‘Father, help me to make the best of the time that is left”.

It would be recalled that several of her colleagues attended her Service of Songs and Candlelight Procession held on Thursday at Blueroof Pavilion at Lagos Television, LTV, Agidingbi, Lagos.

Proominent figures in the industry, including Odunlade Adekola, Saheed Balogun, Bolaji Amusan, Iyabo Ojo, Fausat Balogun, Eniola Ajao and Fathia Balogun and other attendees wore customised white T-shirts bearing Ademola’s portrait as a mark of tribute.
