Olaiya said Tope and her partner had visited him at his Abeokuta home to request his Mercedes-Benz V-Boot with the customised plate number “Ololade Mr Money.” Although he initially agreed, he later decided against it.

According to the actor, armed robbers had snatched the same car from him just days before while he was in Ibadan for a movie promotion. Even though the vehicle was recovered, he said he feared it might not be safe for the couple to use.

Taking to Instagram, the 54-year-old songwriter, famous for hits like ‘Logan Ti O De’, described a recurring cycle of punishment where her sister would first order her to grind scotch bonnet peppers, unaware of their intended use.

“When I was living with my sister, she used to beat me mercilessly. Anytime she wanted to beat me, she would tell me to grind scotch bonnet peppers on a stone grinder,” She said.

“I did not know that is how you punish someone. After she had beaten me severely with the cane, there would be wounds all over my body. She would then put the ground pepper all over the wounds.”

The routine, which, according to her, happened every time she offended her sister, caused such excruciating pain that she “would run like a mad person”.

Alabi explained that she had chosen to bury the memories but felt compelled by a higher power to speak out now.

“She did this to me every time. I would run like a mad person because of the pain. You would feel like you want to lose your sanity. I can never forget. Not that I forgot, but I just decided not to speak about it,” she wrote.
