Nollywood actress Biola Bayo has tendered a heartfelt apology to Nigerians over her interview with disgraced actor Baba Ijesha.
Newsunplug reported a day back that Baba Ijesha, in an interview with Biola, had addressed his rape allegations, maintaining that he isn’t a pedophile nor a rapist. He said Princess knows she has betrayed everyone she has ever been friends with, and expressed how hurt he was by how Iyabo Ojo turned on him. He noted that he had taken care of her kids when they were younger, yet she doubted him.
The interview didn’t sit well with many, who dragged him and Biola Bayo through the mud.
Following the backlash, Biola took down the video from her YouTube page and has hidden it on her Instagram reel.
Taking to her Instagram page, she shared a video of her explaining the situation. According to her, shortly after his release from prison, he informed her that he was back. She had asked if he would like to grant an interview to apologise or clear the air so he could move on with his life, but he declined at the time, saying he wasn’t ready.
The beloved actress said he contacted her again, saying he was now ready for an interview and chose to appear on her platform first before others.
Biola said she approached the integrity strictly as a journalist, believing he would use the opportunity to apologise to the public, but he didn’t. She emphasised that it wasn’t her place to condemn him during the interview, noting that her platform is open to everyone, regardless of public opinion.
The talented actress, while apologising to Iyabo Ojo, made it clear that she doesn’t and will never support a rapist.
“I APOLOGISE TO EVERYONE, I AM VERY SORRY.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
I will never support a rapist nor a pedophil£, NEVER!
@iyaboojofepris, I am so sorry about everything.
Thank you to everyone who has been standing by me, and thank you all for hat£ comments too. All is well!”.
