Nollywood actress and podcaster Biola Adebayo has apologised following backlash over her recent interview with convicted actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Adebayo explained that she was merely performing her role as an interviewer and did not intend to condone or exonerate the actor.
“What happened is when Baba Ijesha just came back from prison, he told me he was back and I asked him, ‘ Do you want to do an interview to apologise? Or to clear the air so that you can continue your life. And he said no, that he wasn’t ready.
“I thought he would apologise, but he did not do so. But it is not in my place to condemn him as an interviewer. The platform is for the good and the bad. It’s for both saints and sinners,” she said.
