The intervention follows days of online controversy sparked by a viral video showing Funke Akindele appearing to snub Toyin Abraham at a recent film premiere hosted by Iyabo Ojo.

Speaking amid the fallout, Iyabo Ojo had earlier addressed accusations of bias, attributing the disagreement to a previous outburst by Toyin Abraham in December.

She said the incident disrupted an earlier understanding between Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele.

However, Madam Saje confirmed that she stepped in to mediate the dispute, describing the matter as now resolved.

In a video shared on Instagram, she said all parties had agreed to put the issue behind them.

“I have taken up the matter since yesterday. I’ve resolved it and ordered them to take it off social media,” Madam Saje said.

“I made them realise that their matter should no longer be discussed on social media again.”

The swift intervention marks a decisive effort to de-escalate tensions that had drawn widespread attention across social platforms, with fans closely following the developments.

Industry observers note that the reconciliation underscores the influence of senior figures within Nollywood in maintaining unity and managing conflicts behind the scenes.
