A neighbour of late Nollywood actress Allwell Ademola has recounted her last moments on earth.
In an emotional interview with Biola Bayo, she disclosed that it took over 30 minutes for Allwell to open the door, as she was struggling to put on her clothes. She noted how if the actress had foreseen her death, she wouldn’t have minded if they broke down the door to get her.
The neighbour said about 5 to 6 people lifted Allwell to the car, and she drove the actress herself to the hospital. She said till now, everyone is still in denial about her death, especially when they see her things around.
“It took almost over 30 minutes. It took a long time. She wouldn’t have minded if we had broken the door if she had known it would end up that way. We lifted her up, about 5 to 6 people, and I had to drive her to the hospital myself. It is still like a dream to me, especially when I see her things around. I will be like, ‘Is it really true?”.
