I Will Deal With Toyin Aimakhu Wherever I Set My Eyes On Her- Seun Egbegbe Again

Even though it looks like Toyin Aimakhu has moved on, her estranged lover, Seun Egbegbe is still granting interviews and speaking about how the actress allegedly hurt him. In an interview culled from Punch, Mr Seun kept to his last threat that no Yoruba movie producer must deal with Toyin Aimakhu or they will have themselves to blame and also made a new threat saying, he will definitely deal with her wherever he sets his eyes on her. He then gave another shocker when asked why he started flaunting his relationship with the actress shortly after she broke up with her husband, saying to his best of his knowledge, himself and Toyin’s estrange husband, Niyi Johnson are friends and even greet when they spot each other. Lobatan! The interview after the cut.
