Iyabo Ojo has fired a warning shot at her Nollywood colleague, Baba Ijesha, over claims he made about her children in a recent interview. The actress has reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to Ijesha, cautioning him against using her kids as a way to garner sympathy. Ijesha had expressed hurt over Iyabo's reaction to the rape allegations against him, claiming he had taken care of her kids when they were younger. However, Iyabo has set the record straight, stating that she never left her kids alone and had nannies and her late mother to take care of them.
Iyabo is not only concerned about the false claims being made about her kids but also about the fact that Ijesha is trying to deflect attention from his own guilt. The actress has made it clear that she is okay with Ijesha sharing his side of the story, but he should not mislead the public with false claims about her children. Iyabo has also reminded Ijesha that he was found guilty of sexual assault by the court, and it is time for him to show remorse.
The controversy surrounding Baba Ijesha's release from prison has sparked a heated debate in the Nollywood community. Iyabo's warning to Ijesha is a clear indication that she will not tolerate any attempts to drag her children into the controversy.
Baba Ijesha's attempt to use Iyabo Ojo's children as a way to garner sympathy is a classic case of desperation. In Nigerian pop culture, using children as a way to tug at people's heartstrings is a common tactic, but it's not going to work in this case. Iyabo Ojo has made it clear that she will not be swayed by Ijesha's attempts to deflect attention from his own guilt. It's time for Baba Ijesha to take responsibility for his actions and show some remorse.
