Odinia Emmanuel Godson, the father of former Big Brother Naija winner Ilebaye, publicly addressed allegations of domestic violence involving his daughter after a viral video surfaced online. In his statement, he emphasized his love and support for Ilebaye, detailing his commitment to her upbringing and education.

He thanked Nigerians for their reactions, both positive and negative, regarding the situation. Godson highlighted that Ilebaye is a devoted child who attended good schools and that he supported her decision to participate in Big Brother Naija, where she faced eviction in 2023.
