Wumi Toriola Kneels for Afeez Owo as They Finally Reconcile at Odunlade Adekola’s Warlord Premiere

Nollywood fans were treated to a heart-warming moment as actress Wumi Toriola and veteran actor Afeez Owo officially reconciled at Odunlade Adekola’s blockbuster premiere in Lagos.

In a viral clip from the glam event, Wumi went on her knees to apologise publicly, and Afeez Owo immediately lifted her up and pulled her into a warm embrace — a gesture many described as a “fresh start” for the industry. Their smiles and friendly banter at the venue confirmed that the long-running tension has finally been laid to rest.

Their clash had dominated headlines after Afeez Owo’s podcast remark where he joked that some producers only call Wumi when they can’t afford his wife, actress Mide Martins. He also teased that while Mide is calm off-screen despite her dramatic roles, Wumi is “hot both on and off camera” because she “doesn’t take nonsense.” The comment stirred reactions for weeks.

But at last night’s premiere, all seemed forgiven. Fans online have been reacting — some excited to see peace restored, others asking what took both stars so long.

Either way, the reconciliation has become one of Nollywood’s standout feel-good moments of the week.
