Wumi Toriola Fires Back at Jigan Babaoja Over Controversial Video
Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola recently found herself in a dispute with her disabled colleague, Jigan Babaoja. The clash began after Wumi posted a video on social media where she mimicked Jigan’s unique way of walking. This video was intended to promote her upcoming movie project.
Jigan Babaoja, however, was not pleased with the video. He felt that Wumi’s imitation was insensitive to his condition. The video sparked feelings of hurt and offense, leading Jigan to publicly call her out for her actions.

This incident has stirred a significant conversation about sensitivity and respect towards individuals with disabilities within the entertainment industry.
In response, the unfazed Wumi Toriola asked why he thinks he has exclusive rights over the ‘handicapped’ industry. She noted that he isn’t the only person with a disability and dared him to do his worst.
