The Nollywood drama continues as actress Bimpe Akintunde steps into the stormy fallout between actors Ijoba Lande and Baba Tee over an alleged affair that wrecked a marriage.
Ijoba Lande vs. Baba Tee: The Scandal Unfolds
Last month, Ijoba Lande accused Baba Tee of destroying his marriage, revealing that his wife left him in January 2025 and that he had been celibate for eight months. According to him, he has been playing both father and mother to their child since the split.
At first, Baba Tee denied the allegations and even threatened legal action. However, he later made a shocking confession, admitting to the affair but claiming that it happened in an unexpected, intoxicated situation. He also pleaded ignorance, insisting he didn’t know she was Lande’s wife. In a final statement, he apologized publicly, warning men to “fear women.”
Bimpe Akintunde Calls for Forgiveness
Reacting to the controversy, Bimpe Akintunde took to Instagram to appeal for peace, urging Ijoba Lande to accept Baba Tee’s apology and move forward.
“Ijoba Lande, you are a good man and truly deserve the best. Trust God and keep hope alive; surely, good things are coming your way. Please accept @babatee.1’s deepest apology. Ko ni baje fun gbogbo wa lola Oluwa oba.”
Baba Tee’s Rocky Relationship History
This is not Baba Tee’s first time making headlines for marital woes. He has been married three times, with two of his previous marriages ending in controversy:
✅ His first marriage to London socialite Yetunde Bustline Oduwole crashed in 2013 after less than two years, amid allegations of infidelity and domestic abuse.
✅ He remarried in 2015 to another London-based socialite, Dupe Odulate, but their relationship also fell apart by 2019.
✅ In 2020, he welcomed his first child with his third wife, despite past relationships mocking him for his failed marriages and even rumors about his manhood size.
Will Ijoba Lande Forgive?
With Bimpe Akintunde stepping in as a mediator, the big question remains: Will Ijoba Lande accept the apology and move on? Or will the tension between the two actors continue to simmer?
One thing is clear—Nollywood’s off-screen drama is just as intense as its on-screen action.
