The management of a popular retail outlet, Shopprite in Ibadan has sought an amicable settlement with popular Actress, Toyin Adegbola (popularly called Toyin Tomato) after her daughter was allegedly molested at the Ring Road, Ibadan and accused of shoplifting.
Adegbola had gone online in a viral video where she stormed the mall demanding for evidence against her daughter to confirm the allegation.
NPO had reported on Sunday that some of the staff were seen pleading with Adegbola not to pursue the matter further just as she insisted her lawyer would take up the matter over the act of intimidation and harassment.
She claimed she left her hospital bed over the matter.
Speaking with the NPO Reports on the matter on Sunday, Adegbola said she is ready to ensure that those responsible for the molestation of her daughter face the full wrath of the law.
She said one of the security men had told her daughter he wanted to have a discussion with her privately adding that the daughter declined asking the official to say what he had in mind openly.
It was alleged that the refusal by Adegbola’s daughter to give the security personnel any private audience later made him to turn around and alleged that one of the items in her bag were not receipted.
The NPO Reports gathered Sunday night that officials of the outlet had visited Adegbola in her residence Sunday evening to plead with the actress not to pursue the matter legally.
Adegbola had demanded to see face to face with the security official.
According to a source close to the matter, the representatives of the retail outlet came to the residence of the actress with gifts as part of efforts to appease her.
It could not be confirmed if she accepted the gifts from them.
It was also learnt that the actress told the representatives that the husband of her daughter had called from the United States to demand that the company must be made to pay for the assault and molestation of his wife.
A source at the company also revealed to the NPO Reports that the representatives had put a call through to their overall boss who was said to be out of the country to personally apologise to the actress.
