Nollywood actress Toyin Adegbola has described as unfortunate the alleged rape and sexual assault incident involving Yoruba actor Olanrewaju James aka Baba Ijesha and a 14-year-old girl.
The actress popularly known as ‘Ajoke Ashewo to re Mecca’ stated that only the court of law can deliver judgement to either exonerate or find him guilty of the said offence.
“It is unfortunate that the issue became a public material to be debated. Now that it is in the court of law, I believe justice will be served,” she said.
The actress spoke while featuring on a weekly radio show, Ayekooto on Radio, anchored by Olayinka Agboola and broadcast live on Lagelu 96.7 FM, Felele Ibadan on Tuesday evening.
On the controversial ‘Oniduro Mi’ saga, the thespian reaffirmed that God has a diverse way of speaking to human beings and is man’s reliable guarantor.
She, however, stated that singer Tope Alabi should have diplomatically communicated the message in a better way without being accused of destroying another person’s reputation.
When quizzed about what she loves doing when not at film locations, she said “I love cooking and listening to music when I am not on location. Nobody cooks for me when I am at home.”
Speaking on the accident that she experienced while working on a movie directed by Tope Adebayo sometime last year, she said it was part of the hazards of her jobs as the injury almost led to the amputation of her leg.
She stated that God saved her as she did not have any underlying medical issues.
Toyin also used the opportunity to reveal why she is not interested in taking a second shot at marriage after she lost her husband 21 years ago while revealing that concentration on the success and welfare of her children have taken up her time.
