Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, on Thursday apologised to the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) following the issuance of a stern warning over her outburst on social media on the ongoing trial of the embattled actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, fondly known as Baba Ijesha.

The actress posted the apology on her Instagram page, @iyaboojofepris, after sharing a video recording of a live session with the President of TAMPPAN, Mr Latin.

“I would like to say thank you to @esabodofficialpage. God bless you ma, Agba yin a dale. I so much appreciate you mama and Love you.

“First & foremost, I want to appreciate God almighty, all mercifully, I love you Lord & I thank you for your constant protection, provision and guidance over me & my family. I am forever grateful.

“I will also want to use this opportunity to say a very BIG thank you to all my darling fans and loved ones for your constant love & support … honestly I’m so overwhelmed & humbled, I will never take it for granted.

“To an able & ever-humble president of Tampan @mrlatin1510 thank you very much, sir. Our big daddies @adebayo.salami @princejidekosoko @realyinkaquadri, on behalf of @nkechiblessingsunday my darling aburo & my humble self, we apologise to you sirs. We’re sorry for getting you upset. You’re our elders & leaders; we respect you, we’re humbled before you, we will forever appreciate you & honour you. It’s all Peace & Love.”

Recall that Baba Ijesha has been charged with indecent treatment of a child, defilement of a child, sexual assault by penetration, attempted sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault, which contravene sections 135, 137, 261, 202, 262 and 263 of the Lagos State Criminal Law, 2015.

The ongoing case had made Iyabo Ojo and another fellow actress, Nkechi Blessing take to social media on several occasions to air their opinions on the matter.

TAMPAN accused them of making reckless accusations, abuses and bringing embarrassment to the association and the movie industry as a whole. (Daily Independent)
