Popular Nollywood actress, lyabo Ojo, has opened up about her traumatic experiences with sexual assault, revealing that she was a victim of rape on five separate occasions.

The emotional disclosure came during an interview with fellow actress, Biola Bayo on the talk show Talk to B.

In the heartfelt conversation, lyabo explained her staunch stance against sexual violence and her zero tolerance for rape apologists. She stressed that she would not hesitate to confront anyone guilty of the crime, even if it were her own son.

“I was raped five times in my life,” she said. “I discovered we have a lot of rape apologists. I don’t care who the person is; if that person is my son, I am going to come for him unapologetically.”

The actress also shared details of her challenging upbringing, revealing that she was raised by her grandmother and only met her mother at the age of seven.

“I grew up with my grandmother, who is half Delta and half Igbo. I think I was seven before I knew my mother,” she recounted.

“My dad did everything- alcohol and drugs -so it messed him up at a young age. He died at 49,” she said.

The actress also addressed rumours about her relationship with controversial singer, Naira Marley, clarifying that despite public perception, she has never met him in person.
