Yoruba actor Adeshina Shoeto Adedayo has ignited a firestorm of controversy after making deeply unsettling allegations against his ex-wife and one of her sons during a viral interview. The actor, visibly emotional, declared he was prepared to swear on both the Bible and the Quran to support the truth of his claims.
Adedayo's Shocking Discovery
In an interview published by FeelRightNews TV on YouTube on Monday, July 27, 2026, Adedayo recounted what he described as a traumatic incident inside his own home. He alleged that he walked in on his ex-wife and her last son in a compromising situation. "I swear with the Bible and Quran, I caught my wife and her last son knacking in bed in my house," he said, his voice trembling with emotion. The actor offered no further details about the timing of the incident or whether any legal action was taken.
Marriage Breakdown and No Comment From Accused
According to Adedayo, the relationship with this woman began after the dissolution of his first marriage. Following the alleged discovery, he said the union ended despite his ex-wife's pleas for reconciliation. As of the time of publication, neither the ex-wife nor the son named in the allegation had issued any public statement. The claims remain unverified, and no police report or legal complaint has been confirmed.
Social Media Erupts in Shock and Disbelief
The video spread rapidly across platforms like Instagram and YouTube, drawing a deluge of comments from users expressing horror, disbelief, and sympathy. Many commenters questioned the veracity of the story, while others offered support for the actor. User @bigsmart__ wrote: "To think that God will still forgive them according to the bible." @chicynthiaan reacted: "Dem don too traumatize this man ... chai." @neche_melanin observed: "Everything we Dey see for movie Dey happen for real life." @bcross_music commented: "Men! Men! Men are going through a lot. This will forever traumatize the man. God have mercy on men." @__chefbrownson added: "So that stepmother and step son wey I dey watch for chrome dey happen tru true." The comments illustrate the depth of public shock and the tendency to draw parallels between Nollywood storylines and real-life scandals.
Context and Previous Revelations
The incident adds to a string of disturbing revelations from Nollywood actors about their personal lives. In a separate but related story, actor Rolland Akande earlier claimed that his former wife deceived him about her purity before marriage, describing the discovery on their wedding night as one of the most painful moments of his life. While Akande's allegations do not directly relate to Adedayo's, they underscore a pattern of public airing of marital grievances among Nigerian entertainers. Adedayo's interview, however, stands out for the extreme nature of the accusation and his willingness to invoke religious texts as proof.
No Legal or Official Response Yet
As the story continues to trend, no official statements have emerged from the Nigerian film industry bodies or law enforcement. The actor's claims have not been independently verified, and Legit.ng has reached out to representatives for comment but has not received a response. The public remains divided, with some calling for compassion for the actor and others urging caution until the full facts emerge. The interview, which has garnered thousands of views, remains a hot topic of discussion on social media platforms.
Watch the Interview That Sparked Controversy
The full interview, hosted by FeelRightNews TV, shows Adedayo speaking candidly about the alleged incident. The actor's demeanor throughout the interview suggests deep emotional distress, and he repeatedly insists on his readiness to swear on the Bible and Quran. The video has since been shared across multiple channels, amplifying the reach of the allegations. Whether the claims will lead to any official investigation or legal consequences remains to be seen.
