In the video which was posted on Instagram, Adenike was given a chance to speak, this time with her face uncovered. The young lady explained that she faked her death because she was scared that people had discovered her identity after the podcast interview.
Adenike, with the support of her mother, also noted that everything she had revealed to the actress during her interview was the truth and that she went through all the experiences she shared.
In her words:
“I’m sorry, I did it because I was scared. After the podcast, people got to know it was me and I didn’t know what my fate would be. I kept receiving calls of people telling me how disgraceful my attitude was, I thought that was the only thing I could do for the video to go down. My story was true, even my mum could testify to it.”
The video was accompanied by a lengthy caption where Biola Bayo explained how Adenike’s death was discovered to be a hoax. She wrote in part:
“In the course of properly mourning her (Adenike), we noticed some discrepancies in what her so-called 'sister' was telling us and what her friend was saying and 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.
After this discovery, 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.”

Iamkolawole:
“Now everyone has seen her face . Her mother confirmed her story, so what I am thinking about now is her future. I think you should not have exposed her face. Let’s think of her future, and I believe that’s why you still want to help with her therapy.”

“Maybe she faked her death so that she can start her life afresh and people will forget the memories of the past person she was. In my opinion, I believe she just wanted to start a new live. Why expose her again for ridicule??”

I think it was a publicity stunt
During an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, a Nigerian social media expert, Tobi Crackit, shared his take on the case between Biola Bayo and Nike. He said:
"I think it is just a publicity stunt, that is my opinion. Because, even if the guest actually took her life, is she the one that should announce it? Shouldn't it be in collaboration with the family?
The actress is wrong on all levels, she shouldn't have announced the death of the lady in the first place."
