The manager of popular
Fuji Musician, Wasiu
Alabi Pasuma, has been accused of sexual harassment.
The manager, Mr. Matthew
Ididowo was accused of sexual harassment by a female artist, Mrs. Olatunbosun
Olabisi, known as Boss Lady.
Chatting with our correspondent,
Olabisi said that the
incident occurred on January 24, when she went to see
Pasuma, in order to know how she could feature him in her upcoming song.
Olabisi said: “I
went with a female friend to Pasuma’s office to see him, but he was not in the
office. The lady called the manager, who sent a car to pick us to a
building site where they were working. When I met the manager, he asked
me what brought me; I explained to him that I came to find out what it would
cost for Pasuma to feature in my new song.
“After
telling him my reason, the only response I got from him was, ‘what’s the colour
of your pant?’ I asked him, what was the meaning of that? He repeated himself
and later said that the way I appeared, the colour of my pant must be black. I
got angry and warned him to stop saying such a thing to me, even if it was
a joke. I told him that I was a married woman, that I wouldn’t accept such a
joke. He asked me, ‘who give you
husband?’ I showed him my wedding ring; it was on my finger. He said that I was
putting on the ring for fancy; that I was not really married. And then he said
that one Kazeem would f…k me and that would be all. I didn’t understand.
“I told him that I was
not interested in such jokes. I repeatedly told him to stop. I also told him
that I was there for a serious business with his boss. He started laughing as
if I had said something funny. I continued warning him to stop such rubbish
talks. He said that whether I like it or not, he would have f...k me. He even said
it in Yoruba language.”
Olabisi further said
that Ididowo repeated that he would make sure, Kazeem f…k her, and the lady,
who went with her, cautioned him to stop saying such a thing to a married.
Olabisi said: “As the woman was advising him, her phone rang. She stepped
aside to receive the call. Pasuma’s manager then told me that the way I was,
when Kazeem would f…k me, one person would hold my right leg and another would hold
my left leg. He further said that Kazeem would f…k me very well and would
give me N400, 000. I couldn’t stand it anymore. Whatever he said, people
working with him at the site would laugh. It was infuriating, embarrassing and
humiliating.”
Olabisi wants Ididowo to
tell her who is Kazeem and why he feels that the unknown man would have sex
with her, in spite of knowing that she’s a married woman. She also wants Ididowo
to tender a public apology to her.
Speaking on behalf of
Ididowo, Pasuma’s band media consultant, Mr. Afolabi Semiu said that the
lady came to see the musician, but met the manager.
Semiu said that the
group had arrangement, which was that if anybody wanted to meet the
musician for show or some other plans, the person would first see the manager.
According to Semiu, Ididowo
would not be allowed to speak with our correspondent because the issue had to
do with Pasuma’s personality.
Semiu said: “The lady
came for assistance that she wanted to feature Pasuma in her song. The
manager asked her how much she wants to pay for such arrangement. Boss lady
said that if she talks to Pasuma, he would agree. Ididowo told her if that was
the case, she should come to any of their show with her CD. Just the
way, the popular Small Doctor did. Today, that same Small Doctor is now a
household now. There were about 75 people at the site, where Pasuma was building
his house that fateful day. At the end of the day, she left, out
saying the manager wanted to rape her.”
Semiu disclosed that he
and Pasuma crew reported Olabisi to Area F Police Command, Ikeja, that she was
raising false allegations against Ididowo.
Semiu noted: “It was
Pasuma that asked us to drop the matter.”
