According to this gist told Nigeriafilms, Ini was spotted at a fun place called Gee’s Place, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. She was said to be looking sexy in a short gown she was putting on that day.
Not able to take his eyes off what he was seeing, this guy stylishly danced around Ini Edo cautiously. This he did because he doesn’t know how she would react to his move. Ini Edo didn’t like this as she was said to have given the guy several facial signals to this dude to back off but he kept getting closer and flocking around her.
