Nollywood actress, Mrs Toyin Adegbola, popularly known as ‘Ajoke Asewo to re Mecca’ has given details of how she almost lost a leg after an accident she was involved in sometimes last year.

Speaking at a radio interview programme in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, the veteran actress said the accident she was involved in was part of the hazards of her jobs as the injury almost led to the amputation of her leg.

She stated that God saved and sustained her as she did not have any underlying medical issues that could have triggered the amputation of her leg.

She further added that the ethics and love of the profession which says “the show must continue” made her to return to the location the following day even though she spent about four months nursing the injury.

Mrs Adegbola also used the opportunity to reveal why she was not interested in taking a shot at marriage for a second time after she lost her husband 21 years ago while revealing that concentration on the success and welfare of her children have taken up her time.

She was married to Mr Tony Adegbola, a broadcaster who died in 2000.

She further stated that her greatest regret is losing her husband early in her marriage as she never bargained for the unexpected development.

She said: “Blood runs in my vein, it is a decision I have made for myself at this particular time, I don’t owe anybody any explanation for deciding since 2000 when my husband died not to remarry. I wanted my children to be okay, but for now, I am not ready for it.”.

Speaking on the alleged rape and sexual assault incident involving Yoruba actor, Olanrewaju James, popularly known as Baba Ijesha and a 14 year-old minor, she stated that only the court of law can deliver judgment to either exonerate or find him guilty of the said offence as there are things to be mindful of because of the legal implication attached to the case.

“It is unfortunate that the issue became a public material to be debated. Now that it is in the court of law, I believe justice will be served, she said.”

Speaking on the controversial ‘Oniduro’ guarantor saga involving popular singer, Tope Alabi, the thespian reaffirmed that God has a diverse way of speaking to human beings and He is human beings’ reliable Guarantor that cannot be disputed.

She, however, stated that Tope Alabi should have communicated the message in a better way without being accused of destroying another person’s job or reputation.

When asked about what she loves doing when not at film locations, she said “I love cooking and listening to music when I am not on location. Nobody cooks for me when I am at home.”
