THE Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) has invited popular Yoruba actor, Yomi Fabiyi, over his recently released movie 'Oko Iyabo'.
A press statement released by TAMPAN on Monday reads:
"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 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 realize 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.
Fabiyi made headlines Monday afternoon when Twitter users called him out for depicting a scene of the CCTV footage of Baba Ijesha and Princess' underage foster daughter in the said movie.
