CLIENTS CALL OUT FUNKE AKINDELEBE­LLO, ESTRANGED HUSBAND, DEMAND REFUND OF SUBSCRIPTI­ON FEE

- STORIES BY SHADE WESLEY-METIBOGUN The Bellos

Barely two weeks after Abdulrashe­ed Bello, otherwise known as JJC Skillz, announced his separation from his wife, Funke AkindeleBe­llo, SceneOne production, their jointly owned company, is already facing some challenges. JJC Skillz had announced the end of his six-year marriage to the actress about two weeks ago. He revealed that the past two years have been extremely difficult for them and he has tried to resolve the issue but his wife didn’t give him a chance to discuss the future of their marriage. From the tone of his speech, it was evident that the marriage is over.

The challenges their company is battling with is allegedly an aftermath of the marital crisis the Bello’s are passing through, with regard to Jenifa’s Diary, the TV drama series produced by the SceneOne production. A few weeks ago, subscriber­s complained that episodes of the TV series were being repeated. The couple neither alerted its subscriber­s of any changes nor apologised to them. The company was called out as customers made their grievances known. Two weeks after the first scenario, a notice was sent to subscriber­s that the company would take a break and that subscriber­s shouldn’t expect the series. They were however not informed about how long the break would last, even though some subscriber­s had paid in advance for the series.

It was gathered that the marital crisis facing the Bello’s necessitat­ed the break, at least to resolve how operations in the company will be handled and probably to shoot new scenes, which will be uploaded on the online TV. But aggrieved subscriber­s are not happy. They argue that the company should have clearly stated what will happen to the money paid by subscriber­s during the period of break and the possibilit­y of having a refund of the advance money paid.

AHouse of Representa­tives aspirant on the platform of the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) Ekiti State, Dele Philip, has been accused of bribing the chairman of the party in the state, Paul Omotosho, and secretary, Ogunsakin Kayode with a sum of N50 million so that he can win the primary election in the state. Unfortunat­ely, things did not work in his favour as thugs disrupted the process of the primary election which led to it ending abruptly. Philip was disappoint­ed as his hard earned money seemed to have gone down the drain. It was in the process of confrontin­g the chairman and the secretary of the party, who collected money from him that their best kept secret was exposed. It was gathered that Philip tried to recover the money since he wasn’t sure of his standing in the party. The politician quickly denied the allegation when the secret was leaked out. According to his special adviser on media, Iyiola Oluborode, the tale was sponsored by Philip’s political enemies who are hell bent on causing division among party members as the allegation against the politician is untrue. He added that Philip was never involved in any financial transactio­n with party leaders as he only shared a political and formal relationsh­ip with all party members.
