‘Provide Evidence I Slept With Your Wife’ — Baba Tee Dares Ijoba Lande

Nollywood actor Baba Tee has challenged content creator Ijoba Lande to provide evidence of him sleeping with his wife.

Baba Tee made this statement after Lande accused him and 20 other entertainers of having affairs with his wife before their separation in January 2025.

DAILY POST reports that Ijoba Lande, in a controversial video on his Instagram page, claimed that his wife, Dara, left him after he discovered her alleged infidelity.

Lande also called out his manager, Mary Gold, who doubled as his wife’s best friend, for introducing her to actor Baba Tee despite knowing she was married to him.

Reacting to the accusation, Mary Gold claimed that the actor slept with Lande’s wife after she dared to call him impotent.

Responding to Lande’s allegation, Baba Tee, in a video interview on his Instagram page, challenged him to provide evidence to support his claim.

“I have never met or spoken to Lande’s wife in my life. I didn’t even know what she looked like until mid-2024 when Mary Gold called me regarding an MC job because I’m also a stand-up comedian.

“Mary Gold said she was in my estate and wanted to see me about the launch of her movie. But she barged in with a total stranger, and I questioned why she brought someone I didn’t know to my house. She then told me that the girl was a content creator and an up-and-coming artiste—that was how she introduced her to me.

“I overheard them talking in my apartment, and Mary Gold was saying, ‘It seems Baba Tee is already aware.’

“I had to barge in and ask, ‘What does Baba Tee know?’ It took a while before she confessed that the lady was Lande’s wife. And I asked, ‘Why didn’t you introduce her as Lande’s wife?’

“The next thing I heard was Lande calling me out on Instagram, hurling insults at me. I was shocked because I have only seen Lande once in my life.

“Lande, I am putting this to you—present evidence for the allegations you have made against me. Show proof to the world that I slept with your wife.”

Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo has confirmed that a fire broke out at her office in Lagos on Tuesday evening, destroying parts of the property and several valuables.

The actress shared a video on Instagram showing the aftermath of the blaze—smoke-stained walls, scorched furniture, and charred debris scattered across the staircase and office space.

“This just happened today the 8th of July 2025, around 7pm. My office building caught fire,” she wrote.

Ojo praised the Nigerian Fire Service for their swift response, which helped contain the flames before they could cause further damage.

“Thank you to the Nigerian Fire service and my staff for salvaging what was left. Thankfully no lives were lost. The devil tested us today but God said no.

“With God on my side we will bounce back bigger and better,” she added.

She also thanked her team, describing the experience as shocking but expressing relief that no one was hurt.

The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

This incident comes just months after a similar tragedy struck fellow actress Mercy Aigbe, whose Lagos home was destroyed by fire in December 2024.
