Veteran Nigerian actor, Yemi Ayebo, widely known as Yemi my lover following his 1993 movie, has accused one Major Adeoye of ordering his execution in 1996.
The actor made this known while narrating his bitter experience in life.
Speaking with Mr LilGaga on YouTube, Yemi my lover noted that it took the intervention of the Major’s friends for him not to get killed.
Narrating his ordeal, he explained that the incident deepened his financial struggles because he was falsely accused and detained in 1996.
“On April 19 1996, I was in my office at Lagos Island, when a guy came with four soldiers to tell me that they wanted to see me in Alausa.
“It was during the era of Olagusoye Oyinlola, the military governor of Lagos state. So they took me to Alausa in Ikeja, where we met one Major Adeoye.
“They accused me of what I knew nothing about. They started beating me, and that major Adeoye asked them to kill me.
“During the military era, you don’t question them. When they give order, it must be taken.
“After beating me and about to shoot me, through the mercy of God, one of his colleagues questioned his reason for my killing. And I was locked up alongside five of my staff.
“I spent over N500, 000 before I could come out of the issue. I sold everything I had including my car, house and more. I thank God because they later discovered that I was innocent. But the issue was my major setback, and since then things have not been the same again”, he said.
