Adenike Adewodun, who recently made headlines for admitting to having sex with dogs during an appearance on the ‘Talk to B’ podcast, has been arrested by police.
The podcast, hosted by Nollywood actress Abiola Adebayo, aimed to provide a platform for individuals to share their stories and seek support.

In a controversial episode last month, Adewodun revealed her past experiences, including being sexually molested as a teenager. However, it was her admission of engaging in bestiality that caused a social media uproar.
Following the backlash, Adebayo announced on her Instagram that Adewodun had taken her own life, attributing the suicide to the severe criticism she faced.
However, in a twist of events on July 4, Adebayo disclosed that Adewodun had faked her death to escape public and legal consequences. Adewodun, who admitted to her actions during a police investigation, said she was ashamed after being recognized by family and friends and hoped the news of her death would lead to the removal of the incriminating video.
Adebayo, feeling deceived, reported the situation to the authorities, leading to Adewodun’s arrest. In a statement, Adebayo explained that her podcast intends to offer support and therapy to those in need and described the incident as a significant learning experience.
The police investigation confirmed that Adewodun had orchestrated the lie intending to get the video taken down. During interrogation, Adewodun’s mother corroborated her story. The incident has prompted reflections on the handling of sensitive content and the responsibilities of public platforms.
