The actress said she has “no problem with him telling his side of the story” but stressed that “this is a notice to cease and desist from using my children as your cheap bait. It won’t fly.”
She revealed her children have always had nannies or her late mum with them and they were never alone.
"At my former business place in llupeju, I had multiple staff, including stylists, sales reps and apprentices so it’s unlikely I’d be the one running errands. I can send a worker if needed, she said.
She asked the actor not to mislead the public with false claims about her kids.
Iyabo also responded to Baba Ijesha's claim that she was his product, saying he was only her senior and nothing more.
"You were a senior colleague no more to it," she said.
"However, that 14-year-old girl was a minor, and sexual assault is never okay. It is a crime. You should show some remorse. The court found you guilty based on evidence, so please don’t drag my kids into this. Stop mentioning their names else I would direct my counsel to serve you appropriate papers," the actress warned.
