Popular Nollywood actress and politician Eniola Badmus once again stole the spotlight at the premiere of Eniola Ajao’s much-anticipated movie, ‘Owanbe Thieves,’ after a video surfaced showing the moment she nearly got into an altercation with her colleague, Laide Bakare.
The ‘Owanbe Thieves’ movie premiere was a star-studded affair that captivated Lagos on Sunday, April 13, 2025. Held at Filmhouse Circle Mall, Jakande, it attracted a host of celebrities, influencers, and industry insiders.
Eniola Badmus and Laide Bakare, who attended the event as guests, were captured dancing energetically with other attendees as Fuji legend K1 De Ultimate thrilled the crowd with his live performance.
In a video making the rounds online, Eniola Badmus appears visibly upset upon noticing Laide Bakare’s presence on the dance floor. She quickly steps away from the area and moves to the back, where she continues dancing.
The video captured the moment Eniola Badmus lashed out at Laide Bakare as she approached her on the dance floor. Speaking in Yoruba, Badmus was heard saying, ‘Don’t film us together, we’re not friends.’

The discord between the two actresses dates back to a previous incident where Eniola Badmus accused Laide Bakare of making insensitive remarks about her personal life. According to Badmus, Bakare shamed her for not having children or a family, leading to a public fallout between the two. Bakare later addressed the issue, stating that her comments were not intended to offend but were misinterpreted.
