BBNaija contestant Ilebaye’s father, Emmanuel Odiniya, publicly addresses a viral video showing him assaulting his daughter. In his account, he says the incident followed changes in his daughter’s behaviour and what he describes as disrespect after her BBNaija win. He also links the confrontation to a financial dispute.
According to Odiniya, he asks Ilebaye for money and tells her he will refund it, but she reportedly responds that she has no money. He says he then observed her video content showing her spraying cash at a colleague’s wedding, which he uses to argue that she had money available. He further describes his decision to confront her as being motivated by these issues rather than any sudden disagreement.
Both reports frame his statements as an explanation for a previously shared clip that triggered public backlash, with Odiniya attempting to justify the circumstances leading up to the assault.
