Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, was in tears as she responded to a curse on her over the death of Adejumoke Aderounmu, a member of the cast of her television series: “Jenifa Diary.”
The Nollywood actress and lawyer in an Instagram Live on Tuesday cried over the attack by the social media user.
Akindele said she had just wished the Chairman of Amen Estate in Lagos State, where she has her home and studio, a happy birthday when the social media user responded: “May you bury your children.”
She said the comment followed an earlier one by her where she told Aderounmu’s brother, Adeola Aderounmu, that she did not know her sister was ill until she died.

She said she was even the one who asked after Aderounmu, who died at 40, at some point as Jenifa’s Diary was on break.
She said no one told her that Aderounmu, who acted Esther in Jenifa’s Diary, was ill.
In an earlier message to Adeola before the curse by the social media user, Akindele had debunked the insinuation that she abandoned Aderounmu when she was ill.
She wrote: “Hello.
“I’m sorry for your loss.
“At no time did Paschaline Alex told me Jumoke reached out.
“I was the one who recently asked Jide Awobona of her whereabouts.
“I’m deeply sorry for this loss.
“I will never turn a deaf ear to anyone in need around me.
“I give but I don’t make noise about it.
“May her soul Rest In Peace.
“Please take heart.”
