The movie according to those who saw it before it was removed from Youtube, allegedly trivialized the defilement saga involving actor Baba Ijesha and the foster daughter of comedienne, Princess. It is also alleged that Yomi Fabiyi represented the underage victim of Baba Ijesha as an adult who had a consensual relationship with the Yoruba actor.

Like other celebrities who have come out to publicly condemn the movie, Femi Branch described Yomi as a disgrace and one who shouldn’t be a father. In his words;

He said “It is very unfortunate Yomi that you can descend this low. When I saw the whole thing about this Oko Iyabo movie, I was totally disgusted. I thought you were going to somehow apply some common sense and make it very abstract. I knew you were attacking Iyabo Ojo. I knew the target of that film was Iyabo Ojo but I thought you were going to be sensible and creative about it and not make it so direct but I was utterly shocked. From what I saw, it was the work of an inhumane, senseless person that claims to be creative. You are a disgrace to filmmakers. I am ashamed that I know you. I have seen all these ones that you are ranting, claiming to be a civil activist. I actually agree at a point with some of the things that you were saying about everybody having a right to be heard which is true. I thought you were going to leave it at that but I am totally disgusted, totally ashamed to even claim that I know you. You are a disgrace to filmmakers all over the world.  And not just because you decided to use this sacred tool that we have, that we use in mending lives, in passing across messages that will heal lives and reshape society, you have decided to use that sacred tool so shamelessly bring down another colleague. It is not Iyabo you are bringing down, it is yourself you are disgracing. If I didn’t know that you have a child yourself, I would have said that you do not…in fact, even knowing that you have, you do not deserve to be a father. I am sorry to say…that you would take advantage of the young helpless child. I heard that there is a court directive that after the last sitting that everybody should desist from talking about this or doing anything that undermines the power of the court in this case and this is exactly what you have done. I am calling on the Nigerian police to call Yomi Fabiyi, to bring him to book”

Dotun called Yomi Fabiyi a “shameless idiot” and said what he’s doing is “the premium class of clout chasing.”

Dotun added: “You can’t ever be this inhumane to prove a point that clearly stinks. You degraded a child to make a movie. Such a mess.”

Dotun also said the Yoruba movie association, TAMPAN, will also be complicit if they let him release the movie.

The movie had already been published on YouTube but was taken down after Nigerians reported it.

She made this known while reacting to his new movie, Oko Iyabo, which many claims trivialized the sexual assault Princess’ underage daughter was subjected to.

Bimpe asked how he could do such and a follower responded, pointing out that Yomi used to shade Bimpe “almost every day on his page”.

Responding, Bimpe explained why he subjected her to abuse.

Bimpe wrote.  “The major reason is that I didn’t make myself available for his sexual needs despite how much he tried”

Baba Ijesha was arrested in March after he was caught on camera attempting to defile the foster daughter of comedienne, Princess. In a video shared online, Princess alleged that he had initially raped her foster daughter when she was seven and then also attempted to sexually assault her again recently.

Yomi believes that the detention of Baba Ijesha is against his fundamental human rights and is asking the police to release him.

The protesters were seen carrying placards and banners with different inscriptions such as ‘denial of bail of bail of bailable offence is human rights violation’, ‘Nigeria police, please allow the law to dictate to you, not Iyabo Ojo, Princess and co’, ‘release Baba Ijesha’, and ‘Nigeria police must respect human rights and honour bail for bailable offence’.
