‘Why I clashed with an elderly man at Ojude Oba’- Lady in viral Ojude Oba video explains what happened
A lady, Olori Titilope Odusanwo, whose confrontation with an elderly man at the recently held Ojude Oba carnival in Ijebu Ode went viral on social media, has explained what transpired.
A video circulating widely online shows the lady squaring up to the elderly man dressed in a flowing Dashiki and an abeti aja cap, telling him she was going to sue him.
“I will sue you for defamation. Please, give me your name,” the lady fiercely told the man.
In a follow-up video, the lady who identified herself as Olori Titilope Odusanwo, a Cambridge-trained lawyer, accused the elderly man, later identified as Professor Lasun Gbadamosi of Olabisi Onabanjo University, of stepping on her cousin’s toes and pushing him down a flight of stairs at the carnival.
She said she would not talk much about the incident because it was being handled by the authorities.
However, she hinted that she would be holding the professor accountable for causing bodily harm (apparently to her cousin) and also defamation (she did not disclose how this came about).
She said the man boasted that he was a professor, but refused to give her his name “obviously because he was guilty”.
Opinions are divided online over the incident, with some criticising the lady for being rude to an elderly person.
Others opined that the man must have done something before the video recording started, for which the young lady was confronting him.
