The Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners’ Association has suspended Yomi Fabiyi over his recently released movie, ‘Oko Iyabo’.

The association made this known on Friday in a statement titled, ‘TAMPAN suspends Yomi Fabiyi indefinitely for gross professional misconducts & unethical practices.’

The statement read in part, “Having listened to the detailed defense of Mr. Yomi Fabiyi, who is the Producer/Director of the controversial film ‘Oko Iyabo’ and his Co-Director, Mr. Dele Matti, the Ethic, Conflict and Resolution Committee hereby found them guilty of professional misconduct and unethical practices.

“Although Mr. Yomi Fabiyi insisted that it is his fundamental human right to use his creative talent to produce films that will tell his own account of the trending issue but his Co-Director admitted his fault and regretted his involvement in the film.”

TAMPAN pointed out that except “the work of art is a ‘Cinema Verite’, no one is allowed to use real name(s) of other person(s) in a feature film. Therefore, it is professional misconduct to use real name(s), stories and factual events of person(s) without their consent not to talk of a plot that is denigrating to that person.

“That the story, plot, theme, title, dialogue, names and general content of the film ‘Oko Iyabo’ is a factual presentation that may give rise to prejudice since the matter is already In court.

“His misconducts and unethical practices have impacted negatively on the image and reputation of our association. His Co-Director Mr. Dele Matti having shown remorse and admitted his guilt is hereby suspended for 3months.”

The statement further stated that everyone “who acted in the film has been summoned to appear before the Ethic, Conflict & Resolution Committee on the 24. July 2021.”

Fabiyi’s movie depicted a real-life case involving a fellow actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, fondly known as Baba Ijesha, who was accused of sexually assaulting a minor.

The minor in the case is the foster daughter of comedienne, Princess, and actresses like Iyabo Ojo and Nkechi Blessing had spoken in support of the minor.

However, Yomi Fabiyi took sides with Baba Ijesha during the case and released the movie a few days after Baba Ijesha was released on bail.

Ok

Serves the fool right. Talentless guy trying so hard to reap from someone else's misfortune

Good, cos that yomi own too much joor, alaseju

He should just sit this one out abeg

nonsense...

Na everything we dey use take make film So your guy Baba Ijesha in the film will be a good guy

It's okay, wisdom is profitable to direct indeed.

Fake suspension

The guy na one kain skunk head

Can someone help me summarize the movie please , since I learnt it's rubbish movie it will be detrimental to my psychological wellbeing if I watch . Who can summarize pls

IamPatriotic:
I'm sure Yomi would expect this mixed reactions. There's no crime in making a movie in support of his friend. There will always be 2 sides to the Baba Ijesha story, so making a movie �to debunk the accusers' story isn't really a bad move.

SEGLIZ:

this guy has always remain a fool and not an activist like he claimed.

as an activist he is meant to know better, a case already in the court of law being presided over by a justice is not allowed public scrutiny.

if the other party should return to court this as evidence he would be charged for defamation and contempt against the court.

from the onset he blew it all beyond proportion, now he is at it again. I strongly believe he is working hard to cover up something he knows but we the public don't.

I'm having reason to believe the whole thing (allegation) against ijesa is true.

It is always good and refreshing to see we still have reasonable and sensible members like you men on this forum.
With youths like you, the future of this forum and nation as a whole is bright.

Good to know you are not part of the dumb heads that abound putting the blame on a 14 year old girl being touched all over her body by a thirsty almost 50 year old he-goat!
You read things like, why will they set him up with her,
Don't they know he will touch her?

Assuming the boy that wrote that was beside the people above, they would have reset his brains with some factory-reset slaps.
Annoying preeks everywhere.

Anyone justifying Yomi's action in regards to the movie is insensitive & self-centered & one of those causing more harm than good to the well-being of Nigeria.

How do you validate a video that speak so much of a case that is currently in court?
The law should punish Yomi for this because it is illegal do such. Yomi's involvment in Baba Ijesha's case makes it impossible for him to say the movie wasn't about the case in court.

People need to stop cruising on Baba Ijesha's case for bigger fame

He got served!

Wasted efforts, money and time.

No good advisers at all.

This is what you get when you think with your hand rather than your head.

He has learnt his lessons at long last.

Over to the court on the real CRUX of the matter

TAMPAN is just being used by these actresses like a tampon.

Asides that it hurts the feelings of people like Iyabo Ojo, what in the world is wrong with Yomi's movie?

If the tables were turned and it was Iyabo Ojo doing a movie to condemn female sexual exploitation, the same hypocrites will stand behind her, NGOs will endorse it and all what not.

I hate political correctness.

He needs it
I always knew this guy wasn't really supporting that Ijesha guy cause he thought he was innocent, nigga just wanted to trend and make money cause everywhere hard.

Nigeria mumu na golden level too many mumu people for con3

tutudesz:
Na everything we dey use take make film So your guy Baba Ijesha in the film will be a good guy

As in the way people reason eh, even if it was a trap, the Ijesha guy fell for it. See the way he was sucking finger as if it was stick sweet. Mumu people that can't control their organ.

Serves him right, he's a talkative.

Well deserved

This man too dey behave like woman �.

so stupid and annoying kinda guy!

Serves him right....retardinho

So premature and immature stunt

Very good

I wanted to be the first to comment but be like we dey drag this unemployment things ���

Gas me up!

Someday, these Tampons (constituted nonsense) would request for ban of iG when their movies aren't selling as they want.

Forget that they have done something right in the eye of the public today. It's a matter of time before we see their colours.

We move!

Well and good!
Serve him right
