Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has openly apologised to some big names in the movie industry for upsetting them with their comments regarding the alleged sexual assault case of the embattled actor, Omiyinka Olanrewaju aka Baba Ijesha.
Those she apologised to included Bolaji Amusan aka Mr. Latin, Jide Kosoko, Yinka Quadri, and Adebayo Salami.
