Nollywood actress Yetunde Barnabas has called out her critic, Ajefunke Kofoshi, hours after forgiving her. Hours ago, in a social media post, Yetunde said she faced off with Ajefunke in court over her defamatory comment about her movie. She said Ajefunke admitted her wrongdoing, hence why she decided to forgive her. She said Ajefunke had agreed to make a video apology. “Ajefunke and I have finally faced off legally.
She has admitted her wrongdoings, and for the sake of peace, I have decided to let it go on these conditions. Love always. Thanks, everyone”. In a surprising twist, Ajefunke shared a video of herself and Yetunde on her page, saying she wasn’t arrested but was only invited. “Yetunde invited Ajefunke, not arrested. Eyin elejo ofo, Omo ale iru”. From Ajefunke’s post, it was clear she was trying to make it seem like a friendly invitation, not a legal arrest.
Responding to her statement, Yetunde said she was picked up and arrested, begged, and admitted her wrongdoings, and she decided to let go for peace. “You were picked up and arrested; you begged and admitted your wrongdoing with the cursed and begged me, so I let it go for the sake of peace cause there’s nothing in this life. And you begged me to make a video, which I agreed to cause I love peace I made the video after telling you not to curse people again, and I still cautioned you in the same video.

She claimed that Ajefunke had been paid to tarnish her work and personality, but she wouldn’t let it go. In a follow-up post, Barnabas said Ajefunke had privately apologised to her, but she wouldn’t accept it until the film critic went public. She said Ajefunke would learn in a big wa,y as she wouldn’t sit and let anyone bully her. Amid the drama, she issued a stern warning to those who try to downplay the efforts she put into her movies.
Last month, Yetunde shared the moment she fell into a trance on a movie set. She said that moment was when she knew, without a doubt, that God was truly with them. The movie star had expressed excitement at finally getting free after being stuck at 1 million followers for over a year. She also expressed excitement about her professional dashboard, which had reached 30 million views.
In 2024, the Yoruba actress won three awards at Odunlade Film Awards. While expressing gratitude to the public, she dedicated the awards to everyone who had supported her journey as a filmmaker. Barnabas had revealed she was born and bred in the street before she rose to stardom. She made this known after a video of her drinking garri at a movie location with her colleague, Afeez Owo surfaced online.
Yetunde stated that she is not an ajebo, so people should not be deceived by her skin color.
