Oko Iyabo: Yomi Fabiyi Under Attack Over Movie Based On Baba Ijesha Sexual Scandal

Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi, has subscribed to premium dragging over his new movie 'Oko Iyabo' which replicated the Baba Ijesha sexual assault saga for distorting the facts in support of Baba Ijesha.

The actor was arraigned before the Special Offences Court in Lagos on charges of sexual assault, indecent treatment of a child, and sexual assault by penetration and later granted bail in the sum of N2 million naira.

However, Fabiyi took sides with Baba Ijesha while Nollywood stars including Iyabo Ojo and Nkechi Blessing took the side of the young victim.
