Among those in attendance was Bakare Zainab, whose behaviour at the gathering has since set tongues wagging.
In a video circulating online, she was seen jumping on and hugging actor Eniola Afeez in what many viewers described as an overly familiar embrace, all while his wife, Esther Kalejaye, stood nearby.
Esther Kalejaye's Reaction
What made the clip even more charged was Esther Kalejaye's visible response. Rather than look the other way, she was seen stepping in and physically pulling Bakare Zainab away from her husband.
The moment has divided opinion online, with many questioning whether the gesture was simply a warm reunion between old colleagues or something that crossed a line, particularly given the setting and the presence of Eniola Afeez's wife.
