Oga Bello Recounts How Threats Forced Him to Sleep in Church for Seven Months

Speaking during an interview with African A-List, the actor described Bimbo as a well-mannered young woman who understands her responsibilities and knows how to conduct herself.

He noted that the actress maintains a level of respect for older people that he believes is lacking among some of her colleagues in the movie industry.

Salami also disclosed that Bimbo frequently seeks his guidance, adding that he is always willing to offer her advice whenever she approaches him.

He said, “There are some who don’t respect elders, but Bimbo isn’t like that. I like her because she loves her parents. She seeks advice, and I do give her advice”.

The veteran actor also used the interview to revisit a challenging period in his career when he was forced to leave the theatre industry after receiving threats.

According to him, his decision to venture into theatre was never motivated by the desire for fame or financial rewards. However, the threats he received eventually made him abandon the profession and seek refuge in a church.

Salami disclosed that he spent seven months sleeping in the church after fleeing the situation.

Recalling the experience, he said, “I joined theatre; I did not join to be popular or to earn money from it. When they threatened what they would do to me, I ran away. I began to sleep in the church”.
