Lagos State To Prosecute Yomi Fabiyi Over Controversial Film 'Oko Iyabo'The Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) on Monday said it will prosecute Nigerian actor, Yomi Fabiyi, for contempt of court over production of his controversial film “Oko Iyabo.” Fabiyi earlier this month released the film “Oko Iyabo”, which depicted the sexual assault case involving fellow actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha. […] All this unnecessary controversy shows that the power that be are the one beating the drums underneath the water......... I don't think the got anything to do with the case and if it does, cases are decided not by films but evidence that prove beyond reasonable doubts. The Guardian is wrong! The judge said the film will be investigated. Never said anything about prosecution! This is halfbaked journalism. Why would the government prosecute an actor for making a movie on a particular theme? When does film making become a crime?
