Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo shares her traumatic experiences of being r@ped five times. A courageous story of survival and advocacy for victims.

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, popularly referred to as Queen Mother, has openly shared some deeply personal and traumatic experiences from her past. In a conversation with fellow actress Biola Bayo on the talk show “Talk to B,” which aired on Friday, Ojo revealed that she had been raped five times.

Confronting the deeply concerning issue of rape and societal attitudes around it, the actress condemned the widespread presence of those who excuse such behavior. She pledged to hold anyone accountable for these actions, irrespective of their connection to her.

“I was raped five times in my life, and I’ve realized there are many who excuse such acts. Regardless of the person involved—even if it’s my own son—I will hold them accountable without remorse,” she stated.

Ojo shared insights into her family struggles, recounting how her father disowned her when she chose to marry her late husband despite his objections.

“The only time I truly felt a sense of lack was when I insisted that this was the man I would marry, because during that period, my dad and I disowned each other,” she revealed.

The actress went on to detail the struggles her father encountered with substance abuse, which tragically resulted in his death at only 40 years old.

“My dad got involved with alcohol and drugs at a young age, which took a significant toll on him. He passed away when he was just 40,” Ojo shared.

Reflecting on her childhood, the actress mentioned that she was brought up by her grandmother and didn’t meet her mother until she was around seven years old.

“I was raised by my grandmother, who is a mix of Delta and Igbo. I believe it wasn’t until I turned seven that I met my mother,” she shared.

Through these revelations, Iyabo Ojo continues to spark discussions on resilience, accountability, and societal transformation.
