Nollywood actress Mide Martins has reacted to an allegation
that she abandoned her brother Oluwadamilare whom her mum Funmi Martins had for
Afro juju star Sir Shina Peters.
A blog had reported that the Nollywood star Mide and Peters had abandoned Damilare, who
is now 19 years old.
The 41-year-old actress in an Instagram post narrated her
own side of the story, adding that it’s a family matter which shouldn’t have
come out on social media.
She also offered to take care of her brother which she was
denied access to in the past.
“Hello Everyone! My name is MIDE MARTINS. I’ll like to tell
little part of my own side of the story. Firstly, I want to say thank you to
everyone who has contributed greatly to the ongoing issue and also apologize
sincerely to everyone that I might have hurt or disappointed in anyway I am
deeply sorry from the depth of my heart.
“I didn’t want to say
anything about this all the while because I believe it’s a family issue which
should rather be settled amicably between ourselves rather than being dragged
on social media. Anyone who knows me very well would know that I am a private
person,” she wrote.
She also added that she had tried to take custody of
Damilare but was denied.
“I had requested custody of my brother damilare several
times even before grandma died but was denied. Damilare is my blood brother It
is not possible for me to neglect him but there’s much more to this story than
you all know which I’m sorry I will not go into details because it’s a family
matter.
“However, I just want
to ask for a favor!! Can Damilare be finally released to me? Can I have my
brother Damilare? I promise to take good care of him in my own little way may
God help me so. Thank you everyone!! God bless every family out there!,” she
wrote.
Shina Peters had earlier reacted to the story and also said
he will be responsible for Oluwadamilare.
“I would like to thank all Nigerians in the Diaspora. I will
be turning 64, so I should know the right thing to do. On the issue of
Oluwadamilare, from the beginning, there were a lot of controversies, but as an
elderly person, I don’t want to discuss that. I have put it behind me. My
concern now is how we are going to take good care of Damilare.
“In the past, I had
sent my driver to Abeokuta Ogun State) several times but they did not allow my
driver to see him. When Damilare’s guardian, Baba Deji, called me, I was not in
the country. I told him I would call him when I got back. In the process of
waiting for me, this story came out,” he said.
