The renowned actor was criticised for threatening to
frustrate the duo of Iyabo Ojo and Nkechi Blessing out of the movie industry.
On Thursday, July 1, Kosoko, who is the Secretary of the
Board of Trustees of TAMPAN, in a video he posted on his Instagram page said
the press Conference was not in support of Lanre Omiyinka, who is otherwise
known as Baba Ijesha), neither was it against him. Jide Kosoko further
clarified that neither him nor the Association in any way support rape or
sexual molestation, which they already made clear in time past and at the
recent press conference.
Kosoko also revealed that the alleged threat was no threat
at all but a way to urge the two actresses to tread with caution on their now
famous abuses and derogatory statements against TAMPAN and the Yoruba movie
industry, from which he noted they got their now found fame.
In the video, which had insertions of the TAMPAN press
briefing and a video of Nkechi Blessing threatening to come after him, the
former President of the Association of Theatre Arts Practitioners of Nigeria
(ANTP), counseled Nkechi Blessing to seek clarifications for whatever she does
not understand and not resort to name calling or tethering towards rascality.
