How I overcame sexual harassment from women – Comic Actor, Saka

Popular Nigerian comic actor, Afeez Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has recounted how some of his female fans sexually harassed him.

The Theatre Arts lecturer cum comedian said although the pressure was much, he was able to overcome the temptation.

In a chat with the punch, the MTN ambassador said, “Suddenly I can no longer go anywhere without people rushing to greet and hug me. I used to go to the market to do some shopping a few years ago.

“I can’t do that again because I don’t want to be mobbed by admirers. I don’t feel free to mix with the crowd anymore.

“If you are a celebrity, women will always come to you.

“Most of the time, their intention is to seduce you. Well, in 2016, some of them tried to seduce me and to make me do certain things that I had sworn never to do when I got married.

“But, I thank God that I was able to resist them. It was not by my power; God gave me the grace to resist them.”

Speaking further, Saka swore he had never had an extra-marital affair since he got married.

He said, “Why should I? My wife is young and very pretty. Besides, it is not in my character to be chasing women around,” he said.

“The fact that I teach Theatre Arts, which involves a lot of practical work, also gives me an advantage to be a comic actor. I practice what I teach and I am not exactly an extrovert.

“I am so busy that I don’t have a social life any longer,” the ‘Oko Ashewo’ actor added.
