Fabiyi earlier this month released the film “Oko Iyabo”, which depicted the sexual assault case involving fellow actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha. Baba Ijesha was arrested in April for sexually assaulting a minor, the foster daughter of comedienne, Princess. One of the scenes in “Oko Iyabo” was an exact reenactment of the viral CCTV video footage which implicated Baba Ijesha.
“Despite the warnings of this honourable court, an actor called Yomi Fabiyi went ahead and made a film about the facts of this case. “This case is sub judice and you are not to be making videos and disparaging comments on social media. This needs to be investigated,”However, one of the counsels of Baba Ijesha, Dada Awosika, told the court that he has seen the film and that it has no correlation with the ongoing case. According to him, the film is about the controversy between two artists, Yomi Fabiyi and Iyabo Ojo and they are not involved in the case.
