Pregnancy saga: Melaye’s brother- in-law backs Ibidapo-Obe

A new twist has surfaced in the
‘Nollywood movie’ currently being
played by former House of
Representatives member, Dino
Melaye , and Yoruba actress, Bisi
Ibidapo-Obe, with the inclusion of a
new character.
Over the past few days, both parties
have kept the social buzzing over
accusations and counter accusation’
by the actress over the paternity of
the child in her womb.
The character in question is Melaye’s
brother-in-law, Moses Yomi –Fabiyi,
who spoke out for the first time on
Monday on the micro-blogging site,
Twitter, a day after his sister and
Melaye’s wife, Tokunbo, threw her
weight behind her husband via the
same site.
Fabiyi, who claimed to be the brother
of Melaye’s legal wife, Tokunbo, who
bore him three children, said his in-
law was indeed guilty of all the
allegations.
His tweets, which came in quick
succession, read, “I know Dino to be
an unrepentant liar. I believe he got
that lady (Bisi) pregnant. Why not be a
good man and own up, then
apologise to his wife (Tokunbo)? He
should try something else. Everyone,
including his family, are aware (that)
he got her (Bisi) pregnant. Seeing
how things turned for him, he
suddenly became an activist. The luck
Dino has is that he married one of the
calmest Fabiyi girls. Else, it would’ve
been a different gist totally.”
He further added, “I am Barr. Moses
Yomi Fabiyi from Ekinrin Adde in
Ijumu LGA in Kogi State. Dino
happened to represent my
constituency at the National Assembly
(NASS).I make bold to say (that) there
is no physical contribution from
Dino’s term as our representative.
Please ask Mr ‘Upright what happened
to constituency allocations? Little
wonder the PDP refused to give him
ticket to re-run which made him (to)
decamp to ACN and lost woefully on
that platform.”
Narrating how their paths crossed, Bisi
said she was introduced to Melaye by
fellow actress Lola Alao, and over time
they became an item. During a trip to
Canada she found out she was
pregnant and immediately informed
Melaye who was in Nigeria and he was
excited about it. She also added that
when she got back, he proposed to
her. According to her, the bad times
began shortly after, when the
lawmaker asked her to have an
abortion with the excuse that his
church frowned at pregnant brides
and has since then lost contact with
Melaye.
Meanwhile, Tokunbo also took to
Twitter throwing her weight behind
her husband. “I am solidly behind my
hubby. No shaking and please!
Enough with all the rumour
mongering! Why would anyone attack
my hubby over falsehood? Please get
your facts right. I am solidly behind
my man.
Bisi has reportedly challenged Dino to
be ready for a DNA test for the baby
after birth.
In response, he described Bisi’s claims
as an “Africa Magic’s story and an
expression of fiction.
When contacted, Melaye declined
making any further comments saying,
“What do you want to know,’’ in
response to queries.
