Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has refuted claims that the Tanzanian government sponsored the multiple wedding celebrations of her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, and Juma Jux.
This comes after popular Tanzanian celebrity Mange Kimambi asked Priscilla to stop posting loved-up pictures and videos on the internet until after Tanzania’s forthcoming elections.
Reacting in a lengthy post on Instagram, Iyabo Ojo described Kimambi’s warning as an attempt to intimidate Priscilla and her husband, singer Juma Jux.
While warning her to stay out of Priscilla’s affairs, the actress stated “I don’t joke with my daughter”.
