“For having sex with Baba Tee, I’m sorry”, Ijoba Lande’s wife apologises

The estranged wife of skit maker Ganiyu Kehinde popularly known as Ijoba Lande, has apologised for having sex with Baba Tee,saying she wasn’t like this.

Darasimi was accused of infidelity by her former husband Ijoba Lande who said, he could count up 21 persons including actor Baba Tee sleeping with his wife, fearing that “if he reveals their names, he may not make it home,”.

Despite initially denying it, Baba Tee admitted having a “short” sexual encounter with Darasimi while playing truth or dare game. He claimed he did not know she was Ijoba Lande’s wife.
In an interview with actress Biola Adebayo on the Talk to B podcast published on Saturday, Darasimi pleaded for forgiveness, saying she would not make such a “mistake” again.
“Ijoba Lande, don’t be upset with me. I’m also begging everyone I have disappointed, including Nigerians worldwide. This is not who I am and I pray never to make such a mistake again,” she said.
Darasimi also claimed Ijoba Lande struggled with gambling which pushed the family into financial difficulties.
“I am always surprised when people say I spent Lande’s money and dumped him. Which money did Lande have? He has never been a wealthy guy; he is an addicted gambler who spends all the money he sees on gambling,” said Darasimi.
“His love for gambling is so much such that he gambled with N2 million in a day. Aviator virtual gambling is his favourite. His gambling habit led to him selling his car to fund his gambling lifestyle. This is the reason why he is broke and depressed today. I suffered a lot by borrowing money and food from neighbours.
“He is also very hot-tempered; he hits me whenever he is angry. The major reason why I left him was when he hit me because of the ‘ajo’ money that Marygold was owing. He didn’t want me to pester her for the money. Ijoba Lande was broke when I met him but because of the love I had for him, I still went ahead to marry him. I sponsored most of the things needed during our wedding introduction.”
