Nollywood actor Jigan Babaoja claimed that in order to show his ex-lover how much he loved her, he used to beat her ruthlessly.
In an interview with “Talk to B,” Babaoja disclosed that his upbringing was challenging and that he lived alone for his whole secondary school career, which had an impact on him.
I’ll tell you what—I was a virgin during that time in secondary school since I had no one to talk to. I believed that beating my fiancée at the time was the only way I could show her that I loved her.
“The only thing in my head was to fight. ‘I am talking to you and you are walking away, when I am talking to you, you have to listen to me,’ that was what I used to say then. ‘If I am talking you keep quiet and listen, I will just slap her severally,” Babaoja narrated.
“I pray God will forgive me. I remembered a lot of things I did to that girl, I am very very sorry. I did a lot of bad things. She was even my first girlfriend. Her name was Kemi, I did it to the point that I was very mean, I set a plank for her and she fell in the gutter. I was very wicked. I was not a peace-loving child, I swear, I was very wicked, I was a bad guy,” he expressed regret.
