Following unprofessional conduct on social media, the umbrella body of Yoruba actors and filmmakers, TAMPAN, has suspended Nkechi Blessing and Adams Kehinde aka Lege Miami from appearing on movie sets indefinitely.
Ms Blessing became embroiled in a social media spat with Lege Miami because he appeared sympathetic to Baba Ijesha’s plight.
Lege Miami shared two videos (now deleted) captioned “say no to rape” on Instagram to urge social media commentators to stay calm and await the court’s verdict.
…He’s a disgrace to our film industry Iyabo Ojo
The President of Association of National Theater Arts Practitioners, ANTP, Comrade Victor Ashaolu has dispelled rumours that the umbrella body of Yoruba movie stars may ban popular actor, James Omiyinka a.k.a Baba Ijesha, saying “We cannot crucify him until he’s found guilty by the law.”
Baba Ijesha was arrested last week for sexually assaulting a minor, after comedian, Damilola Adekoya a.k.a Princess reported the matter at Sabo Police Station. The case was later transferred to the Gender Unit of the State CID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, for proper investigation.
