Veteran Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has refuted claims that she fled Los Angeles for Nigeria due to the ongoing wildfires devastating parts of California.
The rumors began after the actress shared an Instagram story on January 9, 2025, announcing her arrival in Abuja. In her post, she stated, “Touchdown Abuja. When my American fans follow me back to Nigeria. I had to evacuate in 20 minutes. Please, guys, stay safe out there. If you have family in LA, check on them.”
Her comments sparked widespread speculation that the fires, which have displaced over 137,000 people and claimed over 30 lives—including Hollywood actress Dalyce Curry—prompted her return to Nigeria.
However, Omotola addressed the rumors in a statement on her Instagram page, clarifying the situation: “To set the record straight: My family and I are safe. However, I have seen reports suggesting that I had to leave the U.S. because of the fire. This is inaccurate. I have been in Nigeria since December 2024, and I’m still here presently. While I deeply cherish my connection to LA, these fires were not the reason for my travel.”
