Controversial Nollywood actor Ganiyu Kehinde Morufu, popularly known as Ijoba Lande, has retracted his statement that popular actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele paid him a meager N90,000 after working on her movie set for a month.
In a video message released Friday, Lande clarified that he was paid N190,000 and not N90,000 as earlier claimed.
He claimed that the mix up was because the video wherein he stated Akindele paid him only N90,000 was poorly edited.
He begged the actress for forgiveness, stressing that it wasn’t his intention to defame her.
Speaking in Yoruba, Lande said, “Funke Akindele gave me N190,000 not N90,000. Please help me to beg aunty Funke. Aunty Funke, there was a mix up in my earlier video. The video was cut-and-join. I meant to say N190,000, not N90,000.
“People posted where I made a mistake and not the full video where I corrected the mistake. Please, forgive me. I don’t want to go to jail. I didn’t mean to defame to you.”
