Popular comedian, Baba Ijesha, has described actress Iyabo Ojo as a product of his.
By this, he means he was instrumental in Ojo’s emergence as an actress.
According to him, it is the reason he cannot wish her anthing negative despite the alleged role she played in getting him jailed.
Baba Ijesha makes the claim in a controversial interview on the Biola Adebayo podcast.
The actor who just served out his term argues that he was set up by another colleague, Comedian Princess in the defilement case.
The interview has sparked a controversy, with many, including Ojo and Princess, condemning Adebayo for doing what they see as a dirty job for the actor.
Adebayo had on Tuesday responded to the backlash, saying she was merely performing her role as an interviewer and had asked the right questions. She apologised but maintained that the interview was not intended to exonerate the actor or undermine his conviction.
“I would never enable anybody. The interview was not to exonerate Baba Ijesha or to agree with whatever he was saying. I would never be an accomplice to a paedophile or a rapist,” she said.
