Nollywood actress and media personality, Abiola Adebayo, has taken down her recent interview with embattled actor Baba Ijesha from both her Instagram page and YouTube channel, following intense backlash from Nigerians.
The interview, which quickly went viral after its release, sparked widespread criticism across social media platforms. Many users expressed outrage over the decision to grant a platform to the actor, questioning the sensitivity and timing of such content.
As reactions continued to pour in, calls grew louder for the video to be removed. Critics argued that amplifying voices linked to controversial cases without careful consideration could send the wrong message to the public.
In response to the mounting pressure, the actress has now deleted the interview across her social media platforms. However, as of the time of this report, she has not issued any official statement addressing the situation.
The development highlights the growing influence of public opinion in shaping content decisions, especially in Nigeria’s digital space where audiences are increasingly vocal about accountability and social responsibility.
