Adeyemi informed the court on Monday that despite warnings during proceedings of June 24 that the matter was sub judice and, therefore, prohibited from public discussion elsewhere, Fabiyi made a movie.
The Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution has said it will prosecute Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi, for contempt of court after the latter aired a movie about the facts of a case under judicial consideration.
According to her, the movie, which was aired after the proceedings of June 24, breached the Judge’s directives by revealing sensitive information about the case which is before the court. The presiding judge, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo expressed displeasure with the development and ordered an investigation.
“The two of them are supporters on different sides. Fabiyi is one supporter and Ojo is another supporter. ‘Oko Iyabo’ is loosely based on Baba Ijesha’s alleged rape saga, his ‘social media trial’ made use of the real names of all the parties involved. The association said it arrived at the decision having listened to the detailed defence of Fabiyi who produced and directed the controversial film. They also said, his co-director Matti was also questioned and found guilty of the same offence.
