The drama surrounding Ireti Doyle’s decision to distance herself from her daughter, Ngozikachi Abimbola Onyeulo, who was alleged to have defrauded some of her customers does not seem to be going away.
Her daughter, who is the CEO of Kachi Beauty Products was accused of collecting money running into millions of naira from some of her clients, without delivering the goods they paid for.
The veteran Nollywood actress, Iretiola Doyle, having been dragged into the matter, took to her social media platform to issue a disclaimer and distanced herself from her daughter’s business.
A journalist, Fisayo Soyombo, who felt her disclaimer was inappropriate, took to Twitter to criticize her decision to distance herself from her daughter.
“After repeatedly promoting her daughter’s hair business on Instagram in the past, Ireti Doyle cannot suddenly extricate herself from it now that it has turned out to be a scam.
“Integrity-wise, the thing to do is work with your daughter to ensure the refund of the many people who paid her in the first place simply because they trusted you,” he tweeted.
The talented actress thereafter replied him, saying her daughter is an adult who makes decisions for herself.
“Hi Fisayo… respectfully I’d like to ask; as an adult with autonomy and full agency over your personal affairs, is it everything your mom asks/tells you to do that you comply with expressly and to the letter? No…? I’ll leave it there for now. Blessings!” she replied.
As of the time of writing, the Journalist is yet to respond to her question.
It is obvious from social media comments that some Nigerians do not think the actress knew anything about the scam.
