Nigerian comic actor, Afeez Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has recounted how
some of his female fans sexually harassed him.
The Theatre
Arts lecturer cum comedian said although the pressure was much, he was able to
overcome the temptation.
In a chat
with The Punch, the MTN ambassador
said, “Suddenly I can no longer go anywhere without people rushing to greet and
hug me. I used to go to the market to do some shopping a few years ago.
“I can’t do
that again because I don’t want to be mobbed by admirers. I don’t feel free to
mix with the crowd anymore.
“If you are
a celebrity, women will always come to you.
“Most of the
time, their intention is to seduce you. Well, in 2016, some of them tried to
seduce me and to make me do certain things that I had sworn never to do when I
got married.
“But, I
thank God that I was able to resist them. It was not by my power; God gave me
the grace to resist them.”
Speaking
further, Saka swore he had never had an extra-marital affair since he got
married.
He said,
“Why should I? My wife is young and very pretty. Besides, it is not in my
character to be chasing women around,” he said.
“The fact
that I teach Theatre Arts, which involves a lot of practical work, also gives
me an advantage to be a comic actor. I practice what I teach and I am not
exactly an extrovert.
“I am so
busy that I don’t have a social life any longer,” the ‘Oko Ashewo’ actor added.
