Teni explains why she prostrated to greet IBD Dende on plane

Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, simply known as Teni, has explained why she prostrated to greet popular businessman and socialite, Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, aka IBD Dende, on a plane recently.

Daily Post recalls that Teni came under fire after she shared a video of herself prostrating to greet IBD Dende on a plane via her X handle on Friday.

Most of the commentators slammed her for associating with IBD Dende despite smuggling allegations against him.

Reacting on Sunday morning, Teni explained that she wasn’t aware of any criminal activities associated with IBD Dende, adding that the businessman showed her kindness in 2014 even before she hit stardom, and since then she has held him in high esteem.

The ‘Askamaya’ crooner noted that she does not support criminals.

She wrote, “[I] Met IBD [Dende] in 2014 and he was so good to me, even before I blew up. So when[ever] I see him, it’s always love.

“I honestly had no knowledge of any criminal activities associated with him. I do not support criminals, so let the law take its course.”
