Nollywood actress Ronke Odusanya has opened up about the role a close friend played in the collapse of her marriage to Saheed Olarewaju, known as Jago. In a conversation with colleague Bimpe Akintunde, Odusanya discussed how damaging accusations from this friend created distrust between her and Jago, ultimately leading to the end of their relationship.
According to Odusanya, her friend falsely claimed that she intended to leave Jago for a life of prostitution. The friend also alleged that Odusanya was involved with a senator and had taken their daughter, Fife, to spend a night at his home.
These unfounded accusations, Odusanya revealed, significantly impacted her marriage, highlighting the destructive power of betrayal among friends.

Reflecting on these events, the actress recounted her disbelief and distress upon hearing the accusations. “A friend of mine told him that I wanted to leave him and go into prostitution. That when I left that night, I went to sleep in a senator’s house with Fife. When he told me, my mouth was left open,” she said.
To counter the accusations, Odusanya gathered evidence, recording her location and timestamped moments with her daughter, which she later shared with Jago. Despite these efforts, she noted that the ordeal left her in a vulnerable position financially and emotionally. “When we left, I didn’t have up to N10,000 in my account… all my jewelry was taken away,” she revealed, adding that she struggled to find a new place to stay.
Odusanya also mentioned that Jago later regretted listening to her friend’s claims, realizing the harm they had caused.
