A lighthearted but pointed confrontation between gospel music heavyweight Yinka Ayefele and singer Ola Best has been making the rounds online, giving the public a face to attach to the thrift money drama that Woli Arole stirred up weeks ago.
The comedian-turned-cleric had previously released a video urging their group's thrift collector to come clean and return funds he allegedly collected before going quiet. That mystery figure has now been unmasked as singer Ola Best.

Ayefele turns live performance into a verdict
The dramatic moment unfolded on Monday, 31 August 2026, when Ola Best approached Yinka Ayefele's stage during a live performance to pay his respects, prostrating before the veteran musician in the traditional manner. Ayefele, however, was not about to let the moment pass quietly.
The music star launched into an impromptu song, weaving in accusations that Ola Best had collected contributions from the group and taken the money with him to Canada instead of distributing it to members.

Ayefele declared that God had caught up with the singer and that a full refund was inevitable. He even called on security personnel at the event to detain Ola Best over the alleged debt.
In response, a visibly amused but clearly uncomfortable Ola Best pleaded with Ayefele not to make the matter so public, at one point insisting the money in question actually belonged to his father and that he should simply be allowed to keep it.
Here is the Instagram video of Yinka Ayefele and Ola Best singing about the controversial theft collection below:
