Popular Yoruba comic actor, Olaniyi Afonja, a.k.a. Sanyeri, has been accused of obtaining millions of naira from some of his fans in a dishonest way through his wedding ceremony on December 1, 2013, Sunday.
The comic
actor has reportedly sold some poor-quality ankara fabrics known as 'aso
ebi', for N20,000. The market price for the clothing material he had
allegedly offered was put at N2,500.
Sanyeri has
reportedly ordered that the 'aso ebi' would serve as gate pass to his
wedding, which was held at Anchor Event Centre, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos.
Those
willing to attend the wedding were asked to pay directly into the
actor's account before getting their fabric material. This made it
impossible for them to reject or return poor-quality ankara after making
the payment.
Therefore,
those at the wedding were disappointed at what they saw at the event,
because there was no justification for paying such an amount to get the
'aso ebi'.
Attempts made by Nigeriafilms.com to contact Sanyeri for comments proved abortive as, his phone number remained switched off.
The comic actor and his wife had been living
together for eight years before their marriage on December 1, 2013,
Sunday. They have two children together.
