Father Claims Provocation in Viral Assault of BBNaija Star Daughter, Ilebaye

The father of former Big Brother Naija All Stars winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has broken his silence following a violent family confrontation that sent all parties involved to the hospital.

Emmanuel Odiniya, in a voice recording now circulating online, stated that the incident was not born out of hatred for his daughter but rather frustration over what he described as her changed behaviour after winning the reality TV show.

He claimed that he made significant sacrifices and mobilised support from influential figures, including governors, to ensure her emergence as the winner of the All Stars edition.

According to the father, their relationship deteriorated after her victory, as she allegedly became disrespectful and physically aggressive towards him. He accused her of consistently refusing to grant him audience despite multiple appointment requests.

The father also criticised his daughter’s lifestyle choices, particularly her alleged cosmetic procedures including facial fillers and a Brazilian Butt Lift, which he said she was too young to undergo.

In a more serious allegation, Emmanuel claimed that Ilebaye had physically attacked him on two previous occasions, including an incident where she allegedly struck him with an air conditioner hanger until he bled.

Speaking on the latest confrontation, he alleged that the reality TV star insulted him and struck him first with a sea hanger, causing bleeding, before pushing him and breaking an electric lantern on his head.

He further accused her of neglecting him financially despite his health challenges, claiming that when he requested financial assistance for medical treatment in Dubai, she said she had no money. He alleged that he subsequently saw her spraying bundles of naira notes at a colleague’s wedding.

Despite the accusations, Emmanuel maintained that he still loves his daughter and desires reconciliation, appealing to Nigerians for prayers

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command confirmed that all parties involved sustained injuries and are receiving medical treatment. The spokesperson disclosed that the siblings are under police protective custody while investigations continue.
