Baba Ijesha: Actors Union Bars Members From Working With Iyabo Ojo, Nkechi Blessing
The Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) has barred its members from engaging with Iyabo Ojo and Nkechi Blessings.
The two actors have been vocal and clashed with some members of the association who kicked against them for openly condemning Baba Ijesha on social media
Baba Ijesha was arrested and detained by the Lagos state police after he was alleged to have sexually molested a minor at age 7 and 14.
Speaking on behalf of member, Board of Trustee of the association at a press briefing on Sunday, Jide Kosoko said despite the fact that Iyabo Ojo and Nkechi Blessing are not registered members of TAMPAN, the association would not entertain any form of disrespect by both actresses who tried to drag the association in the mud.
Kosoko said the association was aware of the derogatory statements made by Iyabo Ojo against the association and the industry as a whole, noting that they will not take further insults.
