Victor Oyegoke, brother to Olalekan Oyegoke, better known as Mayegun Olaoye, the father of gospel singer, Tope Alabi’s first child, Ayomiku has said that Tope Alabi stopped Mayegun from seeing her.
Speaking in a chat with Punch, Oyegoke said:” I know everything that happened because I was staying with my brother (Mayegun Olaoye) at the time. It was in Akure (Ondo State capital) that he met Tope Alabi (whose surname was Obayomi then). My brother does not want us to talk to anybody and this is something he has been trying to avoid but I just have to clear the air. We would have spoken about this issue a long time ago but my brother did not want it to seem like he was damaging her career. Since the news broke, a lot of people have been dragging our family’s name in the mud. Stories that my brother maltreated her are false. He is the first born of our family while I’m the fifth child. Our father died at an early age in 1983 and my brother was the one who sponsored his younger ones in school. He has been taking care of his family for a long time, so how can someone like that be described as irresponsible? My brother supported her career so much. I am sure the child, Ayomikun, spoke the way she did because of what she had been told”.
On how Tope Alabi stopped Mayegun from seeing his daughter, Oyegoke said:” He reached out to her severally. After Tope left his house, she took the child to her mother’s place. My brother often sent me and another brother of ours to check on the child. He even used to call Tope. Our mother also regularly called Tope’s mother. Also, Tope used to go to my brother’s office at Idumota to collect money for Ayomikun’s upkeep.Tope should deny these claims if I am lying.
After Tope released the successful album, ‘Ore ti o Common’, she took Ayomikun from her mother’s house. It was then my brother had to pull back. You would not expect him to be going to the house of his married ex to see the child. He could have been ridiculed.”.
