She revealed that Eniola’s deformity was present from birth and has been a source of surprise for those questioning his physical attributes.

Eniola’s struggles, particularly as a street hawker, caught the attention of skit maker Brain Jotter, who offered support.

Help from Brain Jotter and Davido’s Involvement

Adeleke expressed her affection for Eniola, stating that he is her favorite among her children. She refuted allegations of intending to use him for rituals, inviting verification in Osogbo.

She shared pictures illustrating Eniola’s deformity since birth and his birth certificate, confirming his birth on September 23, 2005.

Eniola, in an Instagram Live session, affirmed that he is a boy and explained that he dressed as a girl to appeal for help since no one was willing to assist him.
