At Last, Truth About TAMPAN, Iyabo Ojo & Yomi Fabiyi’s Controversial Movie ‘OKO IYABO’ Is Here

After pulling it down on YouTube, the Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi has taken to his Instagram page to vow that the controversial movie, OKO-IYABO will return soon.

While explaining, actor Yomi Fabiyi reveal that, his movie was not banned, adding that he and the marketer only took it down as a sign of respect, and the main storyline is about him, Iyabo Ojo and few other true-life stories.

Yomi in a lengthy Instagram post, said thst there is no perfect movie and any movie can be subjected to criticism because it is an expression and constitutional right of the maker.

“OKO IYABO movie is NOT BANNED, stop spreading falsehood and rumours, the marketer and I decided to step it down as a sign of respect until we can adequately explain ourselves. I understand most genuine and decent reactions.

Quite obviously there is no perfect movie and any movie can be subjected to criticism. It is an expression and constitutional right of the maker.

“The main STORYLINE is about YOMI FABIYI and IYABO, few other true life stories and fictions. The only scene that traverses on the girl is the one in circulation now whose original version is everywhere online several months ago.

“The movie never discussed or undermine the quest to protect or fight for justice for the victim, the case or changed the narratives to mock anybody, they are fabrications just to discredit my person.

“Movie making is make believe, we as Filmmakers enjoy the liberty to tell TRUE LIFE STORY, PAST EVENT or cook up for the purpose of expressing ourselves.

“The scene paraded and condemned was the only scene that is needed to explain the connect and struggle between both actors(Iyabo & Yomi) with different personalities. Original names were used as Iyabo herself did.

“Most that are condemning the movie have NOT seen the full movie. And it won’t shock me if they choose to judge based on isolated scene.

“I am not perfect but I don’t behave that way. I just feel it is dignifying not to judge on what you can’t verify the full and authentic story. I will keep fighting for Human Rights which include the rights of the girl, accused, the society etc

“Censor’s board who has the constitutional right to process approval and rating of movies in Nigeria MUST see the full movie, allow fair defence and will only advise on adjustment based on the potential ratings available on the entire content. Ban of any movie must be direct threat to National Security.

“So guys, no part of the movie ever did what they are painting, I have a long standing filming reputation. Don’t give those waiting for my mistakes so they can attack me negatively and wickedly online or otherwise opportunity.

“As God exist, this too shall pass and I will be vindicated one way or the other soon. Thank you all,” Yomi said.

It could be recalled that the leadership of Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) summoned the producer of the controversial movie OKO-IYABO for realising such movie related to the current trial of Baba Ijesa and Princess case of sexual assault related issue.
