In a dramatic twist to the ongoing scandal involving comedian Ijoba Lande, his estranged wife Dara has finally broken her silence, addressing the infidelity allegations that have rocked the entertainment industry. Speaking in an interview with controversial socialite Esabod and other TikTokers on Sunday, Dara confessed to a controversial incident involving Yoruba actor Baba Tee but denied full sexual involvement.
Dara revealed that the incident occurred during a “Truth or Dare” game at Baba Tee’s house in July 2024. She explained that she had accompanied her friend, actress Marygold, to Baba Tee’s home to invite him to a movie launch. According to Dara, Marygold initiated the game, which quickly escalated.
“Marygold stripped herself naked and gave Baba Tee a BJ. By then, I had drunk 10 shots of alcohol already while Marygold and Baba Tee smoked ‘Igbo’ (marijuana). Marygold then dared Baba Tee to give me a doggy style, so Baba Tee went inside to get his condom,” Dara recounted.
However, Dara claimed she refused to engage in full sexual activity, stating, “I told him I won’t allow doggy, but I would sit on his lap. We then told Marygold to turn and face the wall so that she wouldn’t watch us. We didn’t do anything. I only sat on his lap.”
This confession comes after Baba Tee, who initially denied the allegations and challenged Lande to provide evidence, made a surprising U-turn. On Monday morning, the actor publicly apologized to Lande, admitting to his involvement. In a post on his Instagram page, Baba Tee wrote, “I take responsibility for my mistake.”
The scandal began when Lande accused his wife of infidelity, claiming she had affairs with multiple men in the entertainment industry, including Baba Tee. Lande alleged that Dara moved out of their home in January 2025 after he discovered her alleged extramarital activities.
The interview and subsequent apologies have sparked heated debates on social media, with many questioning the role of Marygold, who is believed to have orchestrated the controversial game. As the drama unfolds, fans and critics alike are left wondering what other revelations may come to light in this unfolding saga.
