Friends of Nafisat Hammed, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Akin Olaiya, have come out to accuse the actor and his new wife of betrayal, saying she snatched her friend's husband.

In a lengthy audio that has spread widely on social media, Nafisat's friends said Akin Olaiya betrayed Nafisat by marrying the same friend who served as a bridesmaid at his wedding to Nafisat on June 29, 2025.
They also addressed the viral video that showed Nafisat looking upset on her wedding day, insisting that she was not forced into the marriage but that something had happened that morning, which angered her. Nafisat herself was heard in the audio confirming she was not forced.
The friends further accused the bridesmaid of arriving late to the wedding and later taking over Nafisat's husband.
According to them, when confronted, the bridesmaid admitted that she deliberately snatched the husband because Nafisat had offended her.
The friends added that the new wife is Yoruba and described her actions as against Yoruba culture, which they said does not condone snatching another woman's husband.
They also criticised Akin Olaiya for refusing to address the allegations directly, choosing instead to respond with dancing videos, which they described as evil.
