Tonto Dikeh has slammed colleague, Yomi Fabiyi for producing a new movie about the sexual assault case of embattled actor, Baba Ijesha.

Fabiyi, who has been a prominent figure in the case, put out the movie titled ‘Oko Iyabo’ wherein he detailed his own version of the “incidents that led to the arrest and trial of his embattled colleague.”

The project’s characters take on the names of others also involved in the case including comedian, who is the foster mother of the alleged victim, Princess and actress, Iyabo Ojo, who has been calling for justice for the abused girl whom the story seemingly centers around.

Iyabo Ojo’s character is portrayed first as a young child from a dysfunctional home. Princess’s foster daughter is also portrayed as a young woman in a consenting sexual with Baba Ijesha.

The movie was, however, met with an avalanche of backlashes on social media, especially Twitter, wherein users slammed Fabiyi for making a movie about a case that is still in court.

Viewers took to YouTube to report the video and Tonto Dikeh called on her followers to join in reporting the video on YouTube.

Many accused him portraying the alleged victim as someone in sexual relationship with Baba Ijesha, Iyabo Ojo as a prostitute and mocking Princess’s pain.

Tonto said she’s ashamed she knows Yomi Fabiyi and she reiterated that she will always be on the side of the girl child.
