Yetunde Barnabas Accuses Ajefunke Kofoshi Of Misleading Public Over Dispute

Nollywood actress Yetunde Barnabas has accused fellow actress Ajefunke Kofoshi of misleading the public about their dispute, insisting that Kofoshi was arrested rather than merely invited by the police.

Barnabas reacted after Kofoshi shared a video featuring both actresses and claimed that she had been invited by the police in connection with their disagreement.

In an earlier statement, Barnabas disclosed that the matter had been taken up legally. She said Kofoshi had been asked to remove social media posts she considered defamatory towards her and her work and issue a public apology through a video.

Barnabas subsequently announced that they had “finally faced off legally” and indicated that she was willing to let the matter rest in the interest of peace, provided certain conditions were met.

However, Kofoshi’s account of the police encounter prompted another response from Barnabas, who maintained that her colleague had been arrested and had pleaded for forgiveness.

“You were picked up and arrested; you begged and admitted your wrongdoing and begged me, so I let it go for the sake of peace because there’s nothing in this life,” Barnabas wrote.

She further alleged that Kofoshi had asked her to make a video addressing the dispute and that she agreed after warning her against insulting other people.

Barnabas ended her response by urging Kofoshi not to misrepresent the situation to the public.

The exchange has drawn attention to the disagreement between the actresses, with their differing accounts highlighting the continuing tension surrounding the matter.

The claims about the arrest and the circumstances of the dispute remain the actresses’ respective accounts.
