Saidat Ashabi Balogun popularly known as ‘Omoge Saidat,’ a moniker bestowed upon her by the legendary Fuji maestro, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall,is a 55-year-old jeweler based in the United Kingdom.
Until recently, Omoge Saidat had maintained a low profile, blending seamlessly into the backdrop of high-society events and glamorous parties. However, her life took a dramatic turn when she found herself at the center of a scandal that shook her world.
Last week, during the extravagant celebration of Gaming Mogul Sir Adebukunola Adebutu’s 90th birthday at the prestigious Eko Convention Centre, her private videos were leaked online, thrusting her into the spotlight. Initially, the situation felt surreal to Saidat as she watched her private moments being circulated and discussed across various social media platforms.
The videos quickly gained traction, captivating those unaware of her previous existence and prompting many to delve into her personal life and background.
Overcome with emotion, Saidat wept bitterly, grappling with the sense of betrayal and violation she felt. Friends and acquaintances soon began speculating about who might have orchestrated the leak, igniting a flurry of accusations and rumors. While some condemned the person responsible for sharing such intimate content, others questioned Saidat’s decision to record and share the video with her partner two years prior.
As discussions continued to swirl, whispers began circulating that the Adebutu family may have had some involvement in the video’s release, prompting Saidat to seek clarity on the matter. In an effort to address the storm surrounding her and restore her reputation, she was invited to a private meeting with the Adebutu family at their opulent Ikoyi mansion on October 28 at 10 AM. Present were Baba Adebutu, his wife Kofoworola, Hon Ladi Adebutu, Abibat Adebutu Kasunmu and several other family members, all determined to confront the unfolding drama.
