The footage, which circulated widely on social media, showed Peggy Ovire arriving at the event on the arm of Kachi Nnochiri.
Both wore outfits made from matching purple fabric believed to be the event’s ashoebi.
In the video, the pair remained close throughout the ceremony, prompting online commentary and varied reactions.
Some social media users alleged that Kachi Nnochiri was Peggy Ovire’s new partner.
Others criticised the actress, suggesting she had moved on too quickly from her husband, Frederick Leonard.
Responding directly to a post that described Kachi Nnochiri as her lover, Peggy Ovire firmly denied the claim.
Peggy Ovire wrote that Kachi Nnochiri is happily married and had merely assisted her because of her high heels.
The clarification sought to quell the growing speculation, which had gathered momentum within hours of the video’s release.
Neither Kachi Nnochiri nor Frederick Leonard has publicly commented on the viral clip.
