” So, I will never enable anybody. The interview was not to exonerate Baba Ijesha, to agree with whatever he was saying or for him to come and claim innocent on my show. And a lot of people are insinuating that the video is to tarnish Iyabo Ojo’s image. I will never do that”, Biola said in the video.

Iyabo, who has since unfollowed Biola on Instagram as of the time this report was published, is yet to respond to her apology video.
