Lami Calista, mother of Big Brother Naija All Stars winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has alleged that her ex-husband expelled their daughter from his home and demanded ₦30 million before agreeing to let her return.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Calista made the allegation in a video shared on social media, where she addressed a viral recording in which she appeared to disown her daughter.

In the earlier clip, Lami was heard expressing anger at her daughter and warning her never to contact her again.

“Ilebaye don’t look for me… if I die today, you contributed to my death… I disown you today,” she said in the recording.

However, Calista later clarified that the video had been misunderstood, insisting it was part of a planned act between her and Ilebaye due to ongoing family disputes.

She explained that tensions within the family escalated after repeated accusations that Ilebaye was the one responsible for her leaving her husband’s house.

According to her, the situation worsened when her ex-husband allegedly insisted that Ilebaye leave the house as well, and demanded ₦30 million before allowing her return.

She further claimed she pleaded with him to accept their daughter back, promising that the money would be sorted out later.

Calista also appealed to Nigerians not to judge her daughter, insisting that Ilebaye has been going through serious personal and family struggles away from the public eye.

She said the reality star has been under emotional stress and would not have been able to cope without seeking help during difficult moments.

The development comes shortly after reports that the Federal Capital Territory Police Command arrested Emmanuel Odiniya over an alleged assault on Ilebaye at a residence in Wuye, Abuja.
