Omotayo Sanusi, popularly known as Iyan Aladuke and the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Femi Adebayo, has spoken out against what she described as false narratives published about her amid their ongoing dispute.
In a series of emotional posts shared on her Instagram page, Aladuke said she had initially tried to keep her personal struggles private but felt compelled to respond after reports and a family statement surfaced in the media.
“I’m going through a tough time and really didn’t want to air it on social media, but here I am,” she wrote.
“Last year, I was bashed and falsely accused, but thank God for the good people around me who stood by me. Now it seems the tables have turned — what was meant to disgrace me has turned to glory. The lies are falling apart, and people are seeing the true character.”
Aladuke also addressed reports surrounding her eviction from a Lagos property, alleging that armed security personnel were involved in the process.
“What did you expect when you took almost 20 armed men to a public place to evict people? Of course, the news would spread!” she wrote.
“My aged mother was thrown out with a gun, knowing fully well she’ll be there to help me with my child!”
She further criticised what she described as attempts at image management, referencing a visit she alleged was staged at their son’s school.
“You staged a visit to his school on Wednesday after being absent for a whole year, even when your office is just a few minutes’ walk from home! You took a picture to garnish your image,” she claimed.
Expressing frustration over what she alleged were efforts to damage her reputation, Aladuke added:
“You always want to silence me by targeting my reputation. I’m done keeping quiet! You can’t silence me anymore! The desperation to save your name, you don’t care who goes down! I’m not going down with your lies! Whoever published those false narratives in Punch Newspapers should retract them.”
The public exchange follows the circulation of photos and videos online showing security operatives at a business linked to Aladuke, which was reportedly shut over an unpaid bank loan. Some reports mentioned Femi Adebayo in connection with the property, though details around ownership and responsibility remain disputed.
A family member of the actor later stated that the eviction was the result of a bank foreclosure and not a deliberate action targeted at Aladuke. According to the family source, arrangements were made to relocate Aladuke, her mother, and staff to another apartment, and Femi Adebayo has continued to support their child.
As of the time of filing this report, Femi Adebayo has not issued a direct public response addressing Aladuke’s allegations of false publication.
