The family of Nollywood actress and producer Allwell Ademola has mourned her passing, confirming that she was 49 years old at the time of her death.
In a statement released on Sunday and signed by Adeboyega Adebayo on behalf of the Ademola family, the late actress was said to have passed away 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, the 27th day of December, 2025, at the age of 49,” the family said.
The statement described Ademola as a proud daughter of the Ademola family of Ogun State and a great-granddaughter of the Alake of Egbaland, highlighting her lifelong dedication 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 commitment to the creative industry,” the statement added.
The family also expressed gratitude to colleagues, friends, and well-wishers for their support since her passing, saying: “The Ademola family sincerely appreciates the overwhelming love, prayers, and messages of condolence from her colleagues, friends, and well-wishers across the world during this difficult time.”
Details of her burial arrangements are yet to be announced.
The clarification of her age comes after earlier reports suggesting that Ademola died at 43 following a heart attack at her residence before being taken to hospital.
Tributes have continued to pour in from fellow actors. Actress Faithia Williams wrote on Instagram, “Haaaa. This hit me so bad. Eniobanke. Allahu Akbar…Allwell.” Other colleagues, including Mide Martins, also expressed shock and grief at the news.
“May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace, and may God grant us all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss,” the family added.
