• Actress Funke Akindele supported skit maker Kamo during his baby's naming ceremony in Lagos
• A funny clip showed the actress falling victim to skitmaker Erekere's prank as he “stole” her phone during prayers
• Social media users reacted to Funke's presence, showering her praises on the actress for her selfless support and motherly love

Nollywood star Funke Akindele was one of the notable faces who showed up early to celebrate with popular skit maker Akinyoola Ayoola, aka Kamo State, and his wife during the naming ceremony of their newborn baby.

The couple, who welcomed their first child on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, hosted friends and family at their Lagos home to mark the occasion, and videos from the private ceremony have since made their way online.

In one of the clips, Funke Akindele could be seen seated in the living room while decorators set up for the event outside.

She was also spotted helping the new mum with her outfit, showing her usual warm and supportive nature.

Another clip that sparked laughter online showed a hilarious moment between Funke and skit maker Erekere, known for his comedic habit of "stealing" from people in his skits.

During prayers at the naming ceremony, Funke could be seen jokingly clutching her purse tightly and keeping it away from Erekere while side-eyeing him with suspicion.

But despite her caution, Erekere hilariously managed to "steal" her phone from the purse without her noticing until later, leaving attendees in stitches.
