A young lady who reportedly killed herself after admitting on a podcast to engaging in sexual activities with her dogs as a result of addiction stemming from past trauma faked her death and has been arrested.
Nollywood actress and podcaster, Abiola Adebayo made this known in a statement she released on her Instagram page on Thursday, titled “Miss Adenike Adewodun’s ‘Fake Death Antics”.
The actress said the lady, identified as Adenike Adewodun, faked her death in an attempt to escape the public backlash and legal consequences of her actions.
She wrote, “The case of Miss Adenike, while tragic, is a learning curve for us. She sent a message and was asked to come and we offered to get her therapy and all but she freaked out and in a very devilish and
ungodly manner faked her death.

“After the fake death news, we tried to locate her house to properly express our deepest condolences but it was difficult to even pen a condolence letter and the presenter and producer Abiola Adebayo was both emotionally and mentally disturbed for days.
“In the course of properly mourning her, we noticed some discrepancies in what her so-called ‘sister’ was telling us and what her friend was saying because we felt something was amiss.
“We dispatched the director of the show on a fact-finding mission who spoke with the friend before he traced the hospital where she was supposed to have been treated and we were told there and then that she didn’t die,” she said.
Following the discovery, Abiola said the Nigeria Police Force was petitioned, adding that Adewodun and her friend who announced her death were arrested.
Upon interrogation, Adewodun confessed to faking her death due to the backlash she received from the public after the podcast.
“A petition was written by our attorney to the police to complain about the situation and promptly, the police investigated and arrested both Nike and her friend.
“The Police were also set to prosecute, and upon interrogation, Nike, who admitted that she was the one who approached Biola for the interview said she freaked out because people recognised her and said she felt that if she lied that she was dead Biola would remove the video.
“Police asked her if she reached out to Biola to remove the video at any point, and she said no. Her mother, who was there at the station, corroborated the story,” the statement added.
In June, Adebayo revealed the news that the woman had taken her own life.
While her emotions betrayed her, Adebayo said, “For the first time in my life, I feel like a failure. Nike died. The lady I just interviewed who said she slept with dogs committed suicide. People heard her story. They abused me. They said we formulated the story that they were not real. I gave her a listening ear, but she didn’t tell me she was going to die.”
