Hon. Godson Odiniya, father of BBNaija Season 8 winner Ilebaye Odiniya, has continued to open up on the alleged physical altercation between him and the reality star, claiming he acted out of frustration while trying to correct her. In a viral audio recording, he alleged that Ilebaye assaulted him with an AC hanger and broke an electric lantern on his head. He claimed she became difficult to advise after winning BBNaija and that he hit her "out of provocation to scold her because I can't watch her destroy her life." He also made comments about her cosmetic surgery, saying, "Anything that touches her becomes so big."
Key Points:
- The father now claims self-defence, shifting blame from the assault video seen by millions.
- His comments about her body and surgery add a disturbing layer of body shaming to the abuse.
- Claiming a child assaulted him first is a common tactic used to justify parental violence.
- The public remains deeply skeptical, with many pointing out the power imbalance between father and daughter.
- The timing of these multiple statements suggests an organised effort to control the public narrative.
