Lilian Afegbai, a well-known Nollywood actress, has spoken about the close call she had with being expelled from college due to a $xx scene with Jim Iyke.
Lilian, a Benson Idahosa University alumnus from Benin City, in the Nigerian state of Edo, recalled the incident in an interview for the Tea with Taymesan podcast.
The 31-year-old actress said that she appeared in an amorous scene alongside Jim Iyke while she was still an undergraduate student at the organization.
She was forced to appear before a disciplinary hearing because the movie offended the Christian University’s administration and management.
Lilian claims that after arguing her case before the panel, she initially believed she would be dismissed from the university but was thankfully spared. She didn’t, disclose the title of the said movie.
Her words,
“I started acting fully in BIU. In the first movie that I did, they almost expelled me from school because I had a $xx scene with jim iyke. So when the movie came out, then I was young.
It was just a lot, and people in the school, you know how jealousy now, people started telling our reverend’s wife and so they brought the movie to school, they said I acted an illicit scene, they fixed a panel.”
I thought I was going to get expelled. I was scared. It was a christian school and when people start talking about things in school and making it a thing, you actually face a panel. When I went to the panel, I started making them understand that I am christian. I would never do anything to jeopardize my christian faith but then this is acting ma, it’s make-believe.”
