They should stop monitoring me and trying to control every aspect of my life. This has been going on for a long time. I need my freedom, and this is the height of it. I will explain everything better soon.”Her emotional video has sparked widespread reactions online, with many expressing concern and calling for the family to resolve the matter peacefully.
As of the time of this report, Joseph Adelakun has not publicly responded to his daughter’s allegations.
