Baba Ijesha Opens Up About Prison Encounter with Bobrisky
In a recent podcast interview with Biola Adebayo, comic actor Baba Ijesha has shared intimate details of his encounter with crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, during their time in prison. The actor addressed widespread rumors about Bobrisky's detention conditions, sparking fresh controversy and social media reactions.
Bobrisky's Emotional Prison Arrival
Baba Ijesha clarified that contrary to reports suggesting Bobrisky was housed in a hotel-like facility, the crossdresser was actually placed in the same cell. According to the actor, Bobrisky arrived at the prison in a highly emotional state, crying and rolling on the floor. Despite Bobrisky's flamboyant and controversial public persona, Baba Ijesha described him as a reliable and kind individual who shared food with fellow inmates.
Praise for Bobrisky's Mother
The highlight of the interview was Baba Ijesha's commendation of Bobrisky's mother, whom he claimed showed remarkable kindness by cooking for approximately 1,000 prisoners. He recalled that she would often bring food to the prison while in tears, demonstrating compassion for the inmates. This assertion, however, has raised eyebrows among netizens who pointed out that Bobrisky's mother passed away in 2008, leading to skepticism about the accuracy of Baba Ijesha's account.
Social Media Reactions and Discrepancies
Following the podcast, social media users expressed mixed reactions, with many questioning the timeline of events. Comments highlighted the inconsistency between Baba Ijesha's story and the known facts about Bobrisky's mother's death and his prison sentence for naira abuse in 2024. Some users criticized the interview as nonsensical, while others debated the credibility of Baba Ijesha's narrative.
Iyabo Ojo's Warning to Baba Ijesha
In related news, actress Iyabo Ojo issued a stern warning to Baba Ijesha after he made claims about her children in a previous interview. Ojo emphasized that while she has no issue with him sharing his story, she demanded he cease using her children as part of his public discourse, labeling it as cheap bait.
The interview continues to fuel discussions in the entertainment community, shedding light on prison experiences and the complexities of celebrity narratives in Nigeria.
