Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has responded to the allegation made against him by his ex-girlfriend Lydia Balogun, stating that he does not condone sexual relationships with minors.
Qed.ng had reported that Lydia Balogun accused Timini of being a ‘predator’ and ‘pervert’ who targets young and naive teenagers.
Timini responded in a Twitter post on Tuesday, stating that the allegation is false and that both parties made mistakes in the relationship.
“Firstly, I would like to make clear beyond any doubt that I do not condone courting or having a relationship with anyone under the age of consent. Rumours are rumours but baseless accusation of sexual abuse or grooming of underage women is something I don’t take lightly given the severity of the issue.
“Lydia and I dated two years ago, we were both consenting adults and our families knew and approved of each other. Our relationship didn’t work out due to circumstances we were both at fault for which resulted in us parting ways.
“Our relationship was a volatile one and mistakes were made on both ends. Nevertheless, I learned from it and have moved on. I honestly would like to put that chapter of my life behind me and I wish her well,” he wrote.
Timini and Lydia broke up in 2020 after they made headlines over cheating allegations.
