the holier than thou attitude of Dino Melaye, a former member of the House of Representatives, may just have been a cover up for his sexual escapades as the former lawmaker is alleged to have impregnated a popular Nollywood
actress, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe, and wanted the pregnancy terminated.
Dependable sources say that the popular Nigerian movies actress let out the scandal, following serious pressure by the lawmaker for her to abort the pregnancy and threats following her refusal to carry out the act.
While Melaye, a radical activist, who was alleged to have led some of his colleagues against the leadership of the House during the last session of the National Assembly, is facing battles with his close family members over the adultery scandal, Bisi the actress, has lost her fiance of over two years.
As if pressured by his conscience, Melaye, popularly called Otunba, have been attempting to buy the sympathy of many Nigerians over the incident using the social media even before Bisi broke the news.
He is said to have continued to tell those who care that he would not allow the blackmail stall his pursuit for responsible governance and the country's development.
According to the actress, the ex-lawmaker wanted sex in exchange for a favour he offered her, which Bisi's friends said had to do with some amount of money which the actress desperately needed to fast-track a business deal. And she gave in to his demand. Then they started dating even though it was brief.
The lady who is now regretting carrying a baby for Melaye, a family man, instead of her fiancé, who has now called it quit with the relationship, confessed that she was actually introduced to Melaye by one of her friends and popular celebrity, Lola Alao, who told her the man could solve whatever problem she had and that the man took interest in her right from then.
She also said she had refused Melaye at first but that he continued to pester her and shower her with gifts and love that she suddenly developed serious sexual interest for him and that triggered the adultery.
Bisi confirmed that Melaye was frequent in her house in Lagos. Illustrating with one of such visits, she said when the National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) celebrated his birthday earlier this year, she had gone to pick Melaye up from the airport to her house before they proceeded to the venue of the event adding: "we were an item and it was known to a couple of our close friends in the industry."
She confessed that she discovered the pregnancy while she was in Canada with some of her colleagues for a programme and that as a result of the early symptoms of the pregnancy, she could not participate in the programme., adding that a call to her 'lover man,' who initially expressed excitement over the news made her unaware of his ulterior motives.
She said she had thought the former lawmaker would marry her as he showed interest in her keeping the pregnancy to the extent that he even took her to his hometown, Kabba, in Kogi state.
"In May, I went to London, came back and he called and said again that he actually wanted a big society wedding for me but since his parents are clerics and the rules and regulation of their church frowns at pregnant brides, he would want me to get rid of the pregnancy. I was shocked. I wept uncontrollably all night," the actress confessed adding that her refusal had resulted in the Melaye refusing to pick her calls since then.
According to her, all her efforts, through entreaties to the lawmaker were to no avail.
"You can imagine Dino refused to understand; he failed to know that I’m no longer a baby. This is my joy, joy unspeakable to me, something I have been praying for and he wanted me to be funny with it...He stopped picking my calls. But each time I tried to call him with another mobile number, he would pick the call but as soon as he finds out I’m the one on the phone he will drop it," she lamented.
