A Muslim cleric, Labeeb Lagbaji, has tendered a public apology in a new video to famous Nollywood actor Femi Adebayo after he had earlier called him out regarding the controversial upcoming movie.
In a video that went viral on July 29, 2024, Labeeb Lagbaji, a native of Ilorin, Kwara State, threatens Femi Adebayo for her involvement in the contentious upcoming film that also stars Nancy Isime and other celebrities. He goes so far as to threaten to use Femi Adebayo as a scapegoat, emphasising that despite the actor’s Ilorin origins, he chose to disdain Islam. Additionally, he charged Femi Adebayo with not carrying on his father’s Oga Bello legacy.
Recall that actress Nancy Isime faced harsh criticism on her verified Instagram page for dressing in a niqob in an upcoming film in which girls pretended to be niqobite in order to rub banks.
In his words; “I have been receiving reports about you, Femi, but I chose to ignore them. Being from Ilorin, I expected you to know better. Why don’t you follow your father, Bello’s, example? I don’t even know what religion you practice. I was informed that you directed that movie, and I will ensure you learn your lesson. You won’t attempt such a thing again.”
Though the sorry video garnered varied emotions, Islamic cleric Labeeb and his crew apologised to Femi Adebayo in less than 24 hours, praying for the actor’s advancement in the film industry. While some believed the Islamic cleric made it out of concern for a lawsuit, others had different ideas.
