Baba Ijesha: Nigerians tackle Yomi Fabiyi for advertising his new movie despite heavy criticisms

Embattled Nollywood actor, Baba Ijesha

By OLUWATIMILEYIN Adebanjo
Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi has faced heavy criticisms for advertising his new movie, Oko Iyabo despite the backlash he received when he launched the movie.
Recall that few days ago, a lot of celebrities criticized Yomi Fabiyi for producing a movie around Baba Ijesha’s sexual assault saga. Due to this backlash, Yomi Fabiyi had to take down his movie from YouTube.
However, on Saturday, Yomi Fabiyi decided to re-launch his new movie by advertising the link on his Instagram page. This new move by Yomi Fabiyi has made many Nigerians criticize him for being insensitive to the sexual assault saga.
Read how Nigerians tackled him below:

@ifepade_sesi wrote, “Even if the film make sense that one scene has ruined all we all re human nd ve conscience, just apologize and let the sleeping dog lie nd stop making emphasis on this.”
@layomichanter wrote, “But using their real names is very bad sir.”

@brown.skingirl43 wrote, “You are showing your level of illiteracy. The point is not how good a movie is. It does not make sense to use a case that is still in court to produce a movie. Why not wait till after the verdict. In a sane country it will not be allowed. Please stop being selfish and thinking about your pocket.” (Saturday Independent)
