Back in 2014, popular Yoruba movie star, Ronke Odusanya popularly called Fakky Idiwowo or simply Flakky had secretly gotten married tp her UK based lover, Femi Anibaba, and congratulations were flying around.
Little did fans know that more revelation concerning her secretly-wed husband was coming out soon. In fact, fans thought she was going to end up with her fuji singer lover, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma but they didn't.
According to reports, the actress and her newly-wed husband, met only a few months ago through a mutual friend before they went on to hold a quiet traditional engagement ceremony in Lagos.
As soon as her engagement ceremony hit the internet, a woman, identified as Folape Sokoya came out of the blues to accuse Flakky of stealing her man of 12 years.
She claimed she has three kids and for him that she wants the whole world to know Flakky is a husband snatcher.
She also ascertained that the reason Flakky and her husband didn't have a loud wedding was because he was still very much married to her. She claimed her husband had abandoned their three kids to be with the actress.
In a mail reportedly sent to Nollywoodgists.com, Folape urged the Nigerian media to remove pictures of her children on their platforms because “my children have nothing to do with all of this, and I don't want them being used.”
The full statement of Folape sent to Nollywoodgists.com reads,
“Hello everyone, my name is Folape Sokoya, whose name has been dragged all around about Ronke Odusanya (Flakky)/Femi Anibaba issues.
“I will appreciate it highly if all Nigerian media can take my children's picture down from their websites, blog, Twitter, etc. page that they have it on. My children have nothing to do with all of this, and I don't want them being used.
“I did not want to say anything about all the noise and cry from Ronke Odusanya. I'll be darn if I also kept quiet about the accusations. This all started in 2008 as stated by Ronke. She is right, I chatted with her on Facebook.
“During this our chat, I advised her to stay away from my home. In the event, I realize that she did not listen to my warning. I tried to make her understand that she is the problem between my husband and I.
“I thought Ronke Odusanya is a woman how wrong was I? I tried everything to make our marriage work. I started praying, begged him to come to counseling with me, and brought the Pastor to our home to help. He never gave our marriage a chance. After all, I decided to leave so that I can see my children grow up.
“Bukky, my friend has said most of what I have to say. I just want to remove my name and personality from all this. I am a very reserved and God-fearing person. I do not believe in pulling and/or bringing images, career, or life of others down.
“I hope all will learn from all of these. It is easy to be swayed if you want to be swayed away. The decision to be or not to be is yours. God gives us that choice to choose the right way or the wrong way.
“Well to let the sleeping dog lie. I am very well done with Femi Anibaba and his lies, betrayal, deceits, and scandals. I have moved out of his home, moved out of his life, and moved on with my life. I am happy with my life and my children's progress, God has been good to us.
“Femi is just one of those men that has “NO” content in their life, a self-centered, ignorant man who thinks only about himself. In all, I wish him and Ronke the best in life.”
However, the actress in a chat with blogger, Stella Dimoko Korkus claimed she never had a secret wedding with the said man and that Folape only used the opportunity to rub her name in the mud. She explained her side of the story, read below.
”I knew Femi back in 2008 through a very close friend who was in America then and not through actress Liz da Silva as is being speculated.
When we met via phone, we got talking for a while and I asked him what he does for a living and if he had a family, he told me he had children but was separated from his wife.
I asked him why he was separated and he said things didn’t work out between them. We became friends and talked a lot on the phone and he always had time talking to me even very late American time.
Gradually we got very close and I even met with his mum and siblings who lived in Lagos then but I still had my doubts about him then cos we had not seen each other eye to eye before and some men cannot be trusted.
One day, I got a message on my Facebook from a lady called FOLAPE SOKOYA and she asked me “do you know anyone called FEMI ANIBABA” and I said yes “he is my friend” and she went on to say “please stop talking to him cos he is my husband and I’m carrying his third child.” I was very shocked and embarrassed, even though I had my doubts, I didn’t expect that kind of story.
I immediately printed out the message and went to his people to show them and I called him and explained everything to him but he told me things were not going on well with both of them and asked me if I didn’t wonder how he had so much time talking to me and that even if I called him any time of the day he always picked my calls.
He said they both lived in the same house but each person minded his or her own business, when he was done I warned him never to call me again.
Later in May 2012, I was in America and I received a mail from him saying he heard I was around and he would like to see me that he had issues to discuss with me, I refused to see him and he went on to say he needed me more than anything because his wife had left him and taken the kids away too. I refused to see him and that was it.
When I got back to Nigeria he still called severally and then I decided to talk to him and he told me he would buy me a ticket to come to his house and see things for myself. Late in September that same year, I went to America and saw that she had truly left him and ever since we got talking again.
I AM NOT ENGAGED TO FEMI ANIBABA NEITHER AM I PLANNING TO GET MARRIED TO HIM. AS YOU READ THIS NOW WE ARE JUST FRIENDS I DONT KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW.
Please help me beg this woman not to rub my good name that I built over the years in mud. I did not snatch Femi Anibaba from her neither did I separate both of them, she is doing all this because she heard the marriage rumour and thought it is true and jumped in to use this opportunity to spoil my name without any evidence.
She should tell everyone the truth, this is my own version and the gospel truth, and Stella, Heaven is my witness. I only reacted to this because she wants to mess up my name and I don’t like this rumour of me getting married to different men every year. This is my last say on this, I will not exchange words with her in the press.
The beautiful actress welcomed her first baby in August 2019 with her baby daddy, Saheed popularly called "Jago of Ketu"
"My joy knows no limit... It's boundless ... Appreciation to God for the process and seeing me through it all ... Birthing a new being is a whole new level and experience for me ... my love We welcome our child ..... oluwa modupe," she wrote
