TAMPAN summons Yomi Fabiyi over ‘Oko Iyabo’ film

THE Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) has invited actor Yomi Fabiyi over his new film, ‘Oko Iyabo,’ which is based on the Baba Ijesha’s sexual assault case. The film depicts Baba Ijesha as a victim of a set-up orchestrated by the comedienne, Princess.

In a press statement on yesterday, Monday, July 5, the association wrote, “The TAMPAN Committee on Ethics, Conflict and Resolution wishes to inform the general public that the association has summoned Mr. Yomi Fabiyi who is the Producer/Director of the controversial film is titled “OKO IYABO” to appear before it on Thursday 11th July 2021.

“This invitation becomes very necessary because of the controversy that the subject matter of his film has generated which is against our ethic and virtue. Despite that, we realise that the film has sparked off another round of public dissension that may bring polemic against TAMPAN and our good members if we fail to nip the bud of the controversy.

“We hereby implore the general public and the parties concerned to please exercise patience as our eminent association is on top of this issue and will certainly ensure fairness and justice.”

The actor has come under severe criticism over the release of the film.
