Darasimi, wife of popular comedian Ijoba Lande, has broken down in tears, publicly apologizing after being accused of infidelity.
Speaking on the Talk to B podcast on Saturday, Dara, as she is popularly known, pleaded for forgiveness from her husband and Nigerians, admitting to a grave mistake she deeply regrets.
“Ijoba Lande, don’t be upset with me. I’m also begging everybody that I have disappointed and Nigerians all over the world. This is not who I am, but I did not pray to make such a mistake again. And I will never walk close to it again. I beg you in the name of God, I’m so sorry, I’m very sorry,” she said, visibly emotional.
Her apology follows pleas from Nollywood actor Baba Tee and Mary Gold, who was both Ijoba Lande’s manager and Dara’s best friend.
The scandal erupted after Ijoba Lande publicly accused Baba Tee and other colleagues of having affairs with his wife. While Baba Tee initially denied the claims, he later admitted to a brief encounter with Dara and issued his own apology.
Mary Gold also confessed to taking Dara to Baba Tee’s house, where the affair happened.
The controversy has since sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, leaving many stunned.
