She has starred in numerous films including ‘Alaanu Mi,’ ‘Dokita Alabere,’ ‘Ewe Koko,’ and ‘Gbokogboko’.

In May, Alao spoke about her challenging experiences after relocating to Canada. She revealed that she was once slapped by a dementia patient while working as a caregiver.

The incident, she said, led her to quit her job and open a clothing business. Alao urged people to have a skill before relocating abroad, sharing her experiences as a cautionary tale.
