A scion of the famous Ibru Family and one of the biggest movie stars in Nollywood, Elvina Ibru, has declared her interest in meeting with the robber who raped her in 2004.
The actress who publicly talked about her rape case,which happened at her boyfriend’s house, along time ago, urged rape victims to speak out.
In her words, “I was raped by an armed robber in 2004. It wasn’t my fault and not an incident that warrants me taking up microphone about, so I set up an advocacy group to address it. The group is to manage the young and old ones who had been through the same ugly incident like me. I know if I had to go all out to the media about the situation, it will fizzle out.
Ibru went on to advise Nollywood stakeholders to be professional in their conduct, adding that the industry needed the touch of core professionals.
She was quoted saying, “Although I can say that I am not a veteran in the movies because I just spiced up my acting recently, but I have been on stage for a long time. What I can bring to the table for my colleagues is that they must be professional with their jobs as much as possible.
She continued saying that,” there are times that we need to up our games as actors, producers and other professions in the film making industry; we need to be professional and do things right. The fault in our movies did not just happen because we lack money, they also come with the way we handle things as professionals, though, money is also a big factor.
