Nollywood
actor, Yomi Fabiyi, was heavily criticised by fans for sharing photos
of grieving actress, Remi Surutu, who lost her 21-year-old daughter,
Ayo. Actress Remi Surutu has released an official apology to Yomi,
saying she takes responsibility for all the insults and pain he has
received for sharing her grieving photo – Here’s what she wrote;
‘REMI SURUTU THANKS ALL; APPRECIATES YOMI FABIYI AND OTHERS FOR THE SUPPORT
Tomorrow
marks the 8th day I lost my beautiful daughter Ayo. I will live with
the pain forever as a mother even though I owe her every strength
henceforth to raise her siblings and keep her good memories.
I
must thank everyone who contributed positively towards her burial, Ebony
castle am grateful, you honoured my daughter. I thank all my fans who
expressed concerns and send messages. Those who visited are much
appreciated.
However, I choose to grieve this way because Ayo’s case is different. Those that know us together will understand better.
Let
me add this, over the years, Yomi Fabiyi and few colleagues had been
supporting and visiting anytime Ayo had complications at home or in
hospital. And recently despite being busy with Late Moji Olaiya’s
burial, he still finds time to visit Ayo in General hospital Ikeja
before the eventuality. What more do I want from a colleague? Nobody
should come this hard on a good person leaving out the bad ones are left
to jubilate and justify their non-concern.
He sought my consent
before putting anything up, we were together. I am mentally balance
enough to say no if I don’t want anything and till now he has not done
anything contrary to my wish or to hurt me.
There is no amount of contents on social media that can match what I
carry inside me, please understand me. I have few media houses who
detailed the burial events and I sincerely appreciate it. I love my
daughter so much that I do not want her passage quiet since sickness had
robbed her off many vibrant activities and fun of life. Hopefully you
all understand.
@yomifabiyi I am sorry for the insults and pain, I
take responsibility. My family appreciate you, the movie industry know
your value and we know the idea you are sacrificing to keep and uphold.
We need more of you, I am a mother and I mean this. With time everybody
will understand. Thanks to all my colleagues, friends and well wishers
for your support and understanding. Ani fi iru e gba.
Remi Oshodi(Surutu)’
