Yomi Fabiyi is an opportunist
Iyabo also addressed Fabiyi in her statement, noting that he calls himself Baba Ijesha's friend and junior colleague, but uses his situation to his advantage every time.
She continued by saying that despite the fact that he parades himself as a human rights activist, he subjected a young girl who is a minor to ridicule.
"Ironically, Yomi call himself a friend and junior colleague to baba ijesha yet at every slightest opportunity, you are using his situation to your advantage, to project your fame. You call yourself a human right activist but yet you have subjected a minor and girl to more ridicule and abuse."
