The family of Nollywood actress and producer, Allwell Ademola, has announced her death, clarifying that she was 49 years old at the time of her passing.
In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by Adeboyega Adebayo on behalf of the Ademola family, the actress was said to have died on Saturday, December 27, 2025.
“With heavy hearts and total submission to the will of God, we announce the passing of our beloved sister, mother and aunt, Princess Allwell Ademola, who departed this life on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at the age of 49,” the statement read.
The family described the late actress as a proud daughter of the Ademola family of Ogun State and a great-granddaughter of the Alake of Egbaland, noting her deep commitment to the creative arts.
“From childhood until her passing, she distinguished herself as a thespian, actor, singer and filmmaker, touching many lives through her art, talent and unwavering dedication to the creative industry,” the family said.
They expressed appreciation to colleagues, friends and well-wishers for the outpouring of love and support since her death, adding that details of her burial arrangements would be announced later.
