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.
