Nollywood star actor, Yomi Fabiyi has been under fire in recent times, following the release of his controversial movie, “Oko Iyabo”.
The likes of Tonto Dikeh, Mercy Aigbe, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, Femi Branch, Bolanle Ninalowo and many others have expressed their disgusts towards the actor over the movie.
Be that as it may, the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners’ Association (TAMPAN) has now summoned Yomi Fabiyi over the ‘Oko Iyabo’ movie.
TAMPAN made the disclosure on Monday, July 5th, 2021 in a statement titled; “‘Oko Iyabo’ TAMPAN Summons Yomi Fabiyi.”
The statement reads; “The TAMPAN Committee on Ethics, Conflict and Resolution wishes to inform the general public that the association has summoned Mr. Yomi Fabiyi who is the Producer/Director of the controversial film titled “OKO IYABO” to appear before it on Thursday 11th July 2021.”
“This invitation becomes very necessary because of the controversy that the subject matter of his film has generated which is against our ethic and virtue.”
“Despite that, we realize that the film has sparked off another round of public dissension that may bring polemic against TAMPAN and our good members if we fail to nip the bud of the controversy.”
“We hereby implore the general public and the parties concerned to please exercise patience as our eminent association is on top of this issue and will certainly ensure fairness and justice.”
For those who don’t know, ‘Oko Iyabo’ is a new movie by Yomi Fabiyi.
The movie, however, depicted a real-life case involving a popular actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka a.k.a Baba Ijesha who was accused of sexually assaulting a 14year old girl since she was 7.
Recall that Yomi Fabiyi had been instrumental in the Baba Ijesha rape allegation as he had over time staged protests for his release.
Interestingly, Yomi Fabiyi released the movie moments after Baba Ijesha was released on bail.
