Iyabo Ojo, a prominent Nigerian actress, has made a shocking revelation about her childhood, sharing that she was raped five times. In an emotional interview with Biola Bayo on her talk show, “Talk to B,” Iyabo Ojo spoke candidly about her traumatic experiences and her stance on rape.
She emphasized that she has zero tolerance for rape and would unapologetically speak out against it, even if the perpetrator was her own son. Iyabo Ojo also shared her complicated family history, revealing that her father disowned her when she insisted on marrying her late husband.
Additionally, she spoke about her father’s struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction, which ultimately led to his death at the age of 40. Iyabo Ojo further revealed that she was raised by her grandmother and did not know her mother until she was seven years old.
In her words, “I was raped five times in my life. I discovered we have a lot of rape apologists. I don’t care who the person is; if that person is my son, I am going to come for him unapologetically.
I have never met Naira Marley before my entire life. The only time I lacked was when I insisted this was the man I was going to get married to because, at that time, my dad and I disowned each other. My dad did everything, alcohol and drugs, so it messed him up at a young age. He died at 40. I grew up with my grandmother, who is half Delta and half Igbo. I think I was seven before I knew my mother”.
